I fished Scaling about 4/5 times last year for the Pike, all I managed was a little jack Pike of about 1lb
Saying that I'll be back on there this year though, I'm just leaving them be for now so they can finish spawning. Apparently there are some good Pike in there but as with most places locating them isn't that easy, if you put in the hours then you'll get the reward but at £10.50 a day it's not the cheapest way to go Piking
The bailiff was telling me how they lost half a dozen or so big Pike during 2006, biggest one being 26lb. Some were spawn bound others just died, all in perfect condition as well
Unfortunately there may be the odd narrow minded trout angler knocking some on the head if caught on the fly/worm by accident but I do hope that is a rare occurrence
I'll be down there for a session probably in the last few weeks of May, hopefully something will be about.
You thinking of deadbaiting or lure fishing mate?
