I've fished for years but mostly just trout so not sure where to start for pike!! Any help would be great, Thanks Quote Link to post
matt241075 12 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 hi mate I’m from the north east, and a friend of mine used to fish loch Lomond for pike with good results but not sure how far it is from you and if you have transport. you are spoilt for chose up there with all them lochs, what I would say is get some local advise on productive areas as this will save you hours of searching at wherever you decide to fish. Below is a link of a site you can go to and ask people who will fish your area and will let you know where to start. Fishing isn’t as political as hunting I find good luck matt Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain Quote Link to post

neilnbeanie 10 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Loch Awe is stunning, the shallow areas around Kilchurn Castle are a good bet in spring, fished there a few times there myself, Quote Link to post
