  1. Pike Fishing

    Share Share Post
    There are a lot of different kinds of fishing such as, trout fishing, pike fishing, perch fishing, and salmon fishing and many others.
    Pike fishing is carried on from February until November. The tackle that is used for is hooks spoons and minnows.
    Pike are caught from the land and on the lake. The Anglers" Association are anxious for pike to be caught because they prey on trout.
    Pike are sold at threepence per head. The largest weight of a trout is forty lbs. I often saw a pike.
