Tiny Pike

[mark99]

 

Please confirm that you only eat small jack-pike, of which there are plenty, rather than the larger ones which tend to be the breeding females and are much fewer in number

 

And if you take more than one pike session and any pike over 65 cm it's now illegal.

Just one now?

 

Last time I looked it was two, though no max length was stipulated

To be worth eating have to be over 1 pound in weight

65cm....that's about 2ft. Could be a pike up to about 6 or 7 pounds I reckon.

 

Still a jack I suppose

Look what I fished out.

 

I had a Perch about that size last summer whilst fly-fishing for Trout in a lake. Fly concerned must have been nearly as big as the Perch's head.
