A comprehensive and well illustrated guide to pike fishing in Britain. The foreword is by Fred Buller.
Few Pike anglers can claim to be equally at home when fishing rivers, lakes, gravel pits and lochs and only someone who has fished a widely and exhaustively as Paul Gustafson can have gained the ability to catch specimen fish consistently from all four.
With unique rigs of his own invention and scientific discoveries about what Pike see and how they can detect their prey without using their eyesight, the author has broken down the barriers of man’s knowledge of the species and opened the door to new techniques.
A pioneer of night fishing for pike, he is a firm believer that barrometric pressure and light levels play an enourmes part in determing their movements, even to the point whereby succes and failure on a given water can be predicted by studying the wheater.
Paul shows us how to choose and use the most effective tackle to catch this beautiful predator, and as an experienced naturalist he gives us a fascinating insight into how a Pike lives, moves and seizes its prey.
