Hey everyone,

I'm getting back into fishing in my early 30's after a long, long time off. Anyone local to me that's into Pike fishing and fancy showing a newbie the ropes? I'm located in Bowerhill, Wiltshire and plan to fish the Kennet & Avon Canal (literally half a mile walk over 2 fields from my front door) and the River Avon on other occasions.

A couple of my friends fish but i'll be honest I'm not into this sitting on a Carp peg for 3 days and blanking for so I don't join them, nor plan on ever doing so lol.

I've done plenty of my own research etc. into Pike fishing but there's never a better way than seeing the artform in person from an experienced angler so if anyone's game I'd love a few outings this Winter.

John

Welcome aboard :handshake:

Have you thought about joining the PAC? It has regions and you will probably find some members who live near you and of you attend a few meetings it will let others get to know you.
In the meantime buy a wad of our Christmas Draw tickets and you might win one of the many days fishing being offerred as prizes.

I'll be honest I didn't know what PAC was until you just suggested it... thank you! I'm just after any advice or knowledge from anyone, I don't want to be taken to anyone's secret spots or take their land, just learn :)
