Mr Cheetham - Moonlighting with Carp!

Posted on: 2010-07-04 10:21:33

Here's a couple of pics from Andy Cheetham - He's been moonlighting with Carp on the fly, the dirty bugger! That said he's caught them on the PIKESABER - using dog biscuits for free offerings and a deer fur head as a fly. He says they fight HARD - Which i can well imagine! ...more

Scalesy with a 20?

Posted on: 2010-07-04 10:17:22

Scalesy has been at it again with a very nice river pike - He had no scales on him at the time so measured the pike and used the guide on the PAC website to calculate - It comes in at around 21 - 22lb. Being the gentleman that he is he's calling it 19lb and 15 oz. ...more

Mentieth - 2010 with the PFFA

Posted on: 2010-05-16 21:01:01

Just a few piccies from Mentieth. I couldn't make it this time due to commitments and then a very heavy dose of MAN-FLU. Apparently the weather was siberian, and they had snow on the morning of the second day so I don't feel that I missed out on the weather, but the fishing was go ...more

Scalesy with Some Pike Pics

Posted on: 2010-05-11 18:20:53

We have had a lack of pictures for Readers Pikes over the last few weeks but that is starting to change now that the water is starting to warm up. Thanks to Dave Scales for the following. Dave is one of the original FOP's ( Friends of Piketrek ), and is a proper mentalist to boot. To rela ...more

New Materials - Creature Skin and BIG Chenilles!

Posted on: 2010-05-11 17:29:04

Well, I should be fishing with the PFFA on Mentieth today but as I had so much work on (along with the mother of all colds) I had to cancel last minute. I will add at this point that yes, I am bitter :) Anyway, I've added a few products to the site today that should prove of inter ...more

Sex, Flies and Videotape - Chew PFFA Event - 20th - 21st March 2010

Posted on: 2010-03-22 16:41:24

I'd not had long enough to book time off work on the Saturday (I'd forgotten like normal) but I had the Sunday off. When I saw the weather on the Saturday I was glad of this. It was horrible. Gusty winds and heavy showers. Not good in a boat. Your lunch gets wet :) I'm a bit of a fair wea ...more

Exploring New Waters.

Posted on: 2010-03-09 21:07:05

Last year I was desperate for some fishing - trout or pike on the fly. I had spent a lot of time on Chew, Blagdon and Barrow tanks but had not really found any other waters to fish in my local area - Bristol. Greg has access to some excellent waters in the midlands. I had been travel ...more

New Materials and Flies added

Posted on: 2010-02-28 09:14:15

We've added some new materials and Flies to their relevant sections today. I'm loving the Delta Wing Flies. They are so easy to tie and the lightness of the materials makes them easier to cast. Obviously they have a little more drag in the air than a bullet shaped fly, but ...more

First guiding trip of the season - River Trent

Posted on: 2010-02-21 20:53:04

What a great day saturday was! I'd arranged a day on the Trent, pike fly fishing with Will and Craig. Neither of them had been before and only one of them had ever used a fly rod before. Nevertheless they were both full of enthusiasm - and this goes a long way in fishing! I spent some of ...more
