I have fishing experience all over the UK, Ireland and further afield, Pike are the natural cleaning staff of a water way much preferring a dead fish and stuff they can take that is injured. Furthermore they are also a determent to certain birds which may impact on the water, same with cat fish and zander. the eco balance is called such because of the balance provided by I.E PIKE. I found losing a match winning fish to a pike shit, but my god it was some the best days out when you catch a 20lb plus one... and to be honest RE the girl, more females in the sport is not a bad thing something wei
