Thanks Steve. Big pike on a fly are still such a rare novelty for me, but I can see how it can become very addictive. Can’t wait to go back. Going to focus on brown trout for the next few weeks though, I reckon.

Thanks for watching it and commenting. The takes are so exiting - especially in shallow water and especially when it’s by your feet. Think it’s because you’re holding the line and they smash it so hard

Awesome video mate, such a great day, despite of the terrible weather at the start. Made up for your catch and it was great to experience it with you. Still can't believe the weight, it looked so much bigger!

well done 👏 . we went last week and had a go but it was soo bright and hot that alot of people had given up by 1pm and gone home. we stuck it out but didn't catch unfortunately, we heard the same from every other angler we spoke with so atleast it wasn't just us 😂. congrats on that pike! can't wait for October when I have a boat day booked for lure fishing there. Blagdon lake has been fishing well for the trout btw 👌

Thanks Danny. That place has punished me until on this particular day. Apparently those big pike go into hiding after they spawn and that bright cold spring didn’t help but at least you gave it a try. We were lucky to get some cloud cover. Good luck in October and thanks for taking the time to comment

@@Fishwish Its a lovely Pike to catch on the fly, but the scales look zero'd without the sling first, and the fish is then weighed in the heavy sling, you should have weighed the sling after and taken the weight off for the correct weight, still very much a nice twenty though !
