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

Every guide has pet peeves.
Palmerton: I hate seeing trout mishandled, especially steelhead. It kills me when a guy wants a photo of a 10-pound steelie but doesn’t grab it correctly by the tail.
Gunn: Loop-to-loop connections on freshwater lines. They negatively affect casting dynamics, cause the tip of the fly to sink, and get caught in the rod guides.
Whitley: Most people don’t understand how subtly fish eat. It shouldn’t take a bullhorn to convince people to set the hook. When in doubt, set it.
