After losing the back end of last season to F&M I was determined to get back at the pike at the start of the coming season. I am also keen to give lures a proper go.
However in the back of my mind I can't help thinking of the view you shouldn't catch pike when the oxygen level is low.
I'd just started to convince myself it was OK when Des Taylor pops up in this weeks AT saying leave pike until the winter.
He states the oxygen level problem, but also says if the pike are given to much stick in the summer it will spoil the sport for the rest of the year. Quite ironic for some one who wanted to do away with the closed season.
Anyway, what are your views on summer piking? Will it make any difference that I would be fishing a river where the oxygen levels should be higher than in stillwaters?
