Fished the idle today and have had the worst pike trouble I've ever encountered.
I had at least 6 decent roach snaffeled from the edge of the landing net but worst was the number of fish that got taken as I returned them to the water, I even resorted to putting them back well out with the landing net but the pike soon sussed this and just followed the net to get his meal.
I had no suitable tackle to try and remove the pike, and no keepnet in which to protect the roach.
What would you have done? moved swims? - or just accept it as part of nature?
