Here is a thorough and practical guide to all methods of fishing for northern pike-live bait, lures, and flies.

Will Ryan begins Northern Pike by examining the habits, habitats, and life cycles of pike as they vary from winter to early spring, summer, and fall. Every successful pike-fishing method is thoroughly explored, including fishing with flies, lures, and bait, with a special chapter on ice fishing.

Northern Pike not only gives detailed information on how to catch this fish at every time of year, but also gives practical advice on a variety of equipment, tips, and techniques. The history of pike fishing is also revealed, as Ryan traces fishing methods that were popular in the past and shows how they have evolved into the techniques used today. Filled with entertaining, often hilarious anecdotes about the author's lifetime of fishing, Northern Pike is the perfect companion for all anglers of this highly sought-after North American sport fish.

(REAL NAME)   
The book provided information in a casual, friendly style. The author inserted support for his statements, and acknowledged when the information was strictly from his personal experience. This book covered all the seasons and methods of Pike fishing. An enjoyable read.
