WEIGHING PIKE Once you have safely landed and unhooked your pike you might want to weigh it. There are many well designed weigh slings on the market today and one of these should always be used. Make sure that the sling is wetted on the inside before carefully placing the pike in it.

To get an accurate weight for your pike, the scales should be zeroed with the empty, but damp, sling in place. Then when the fish is weighed in the sling the weight you read off the scales will be the weight of the fish - no need for difficult maths deducting the weight of the sling!

Freshwater Fishing - Trout Secrets

When do you know it’s time to change flies?
Palmerton: For nymph fishing, the biggest variables are depth and presentation. I’ll tinker with both of those things before I switch patterns.
Gunn: I try to stick to a proven pattern and not randomly switch flies. That said, I’m always open to trying a new pattern that a customer might have in his box.
Whitley: After six good drifts over fish I can see, I change. With dry flies, I’ll drop down in size before I switch the pattern altogether.
