Aim of the PAC

The Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain was formed in 1977 as a direct result of changing attitudes toward pike.

For far too long pike had been regarded by fishery owners and some anglers as vermin, to be killed and removed at all costs. Since its inception, the PAC has done much too drastically change this mistaken attitude and pike are now widely regarded as a positive element in the natural balance of any fishery. Pike fishing has without doubt become one of the most specialised branches of coarse fishing. Not least in the methods of handling, unhooking and safe return of the fish once caught. One of the most important aspects of the PAC's work is in helping young or novice pike anglers to overcome what for some are areas of difficulty. You may well have experienced that feeling of 'what do I do now', having just caught your first pike. You are not alone; many have experienced it and lived to tell the tale, thanks to the friendly assistance of PAC members offering sound advice and guidance. The PAC works continually for the benefit of all pike and pike anglers, we seek only to further the opportunities for pike fishing, whilst preserving all that pike fishing is all about. We strive to protect pike from persecution by those who do not understand, or choose to ignore, the facts about the important role the pike plays in the balance of nature. We also work to promote pike conservation through safe practice by anglers.

Piking Basics

Pike are a large aggressive fish with a mouth full of teeth and should not to be fished for with any old tackle or on a whim. Despite their appearance pike are very delicate creatures and the utmost care is required in their care/handling and return. Far too many fish are damaged each season by poor practices/bad handling by novice fisherman who have not researched piking properly. It cannot be stressed enough that in the quest to become a competent piker one should glean as much info as possible, and should seek out someone who is an experienced piker to educate/demonstrate just how it is done. We at the club will be more than happy to steer anyone in the right direction. For both the novice and more experienced pikers alike, here are some links that cover the basics that we all need to know. http://www.pacgb.co.uk/tips/basics.html Follow all the
