local pike fishing

Hi guys i`m looking at doing a bit of pike fishing soon just wandered if anyone new of a decent place to go (not the res ) the pike haven`t got to be like crocodiles but a chance of a double or two would be good ,i would be very gratefull of any info anyone has

Just below the wier at pershore was always a decent spot mate or the wier at holt fleet on the severn.

Himley hall in Dudley got a few pike in Dean

Simon

Dean

Fladbury Weir on the Avon is very good, too.

Why not the Res? I'm sure we can sort something out for you.

Keith

Thanks keith but its not just me its my son and my mate aswell so thats why not the res

Dean,

Holt Fleet and Bevere weirs on the Severn, the odd big un, especially at Bevere and always one on the inside slack of the weir pool. Not been for a few years though, think Holt is BAA but Bevere used to be pay the bloke in the bungalow.

Rich

ok nice one rich i`m looking at doing a bit more piking this year so i`m making a note of all of these places

Dean, there's also an old estate lake called Compton Verney in Warwick, near Gaydon, we used to fish it a decade or so ago and we used to have a few out up to 20's. No idea what it's like these days though. Hewell Grange (the prison lake by Tarde) has quite a few Pike in, but tend to only be up to low doubles. You have to join (think it's 20 quid a year) and can only fish during daylight hours, have to sign-in at the prison and it's a long walk to the decent areas. That's why I dropped out a few years back, shame really as there's also Tench to 10lb and a couple of old warrior Carp. I can probably still find a contact though if you're interested. Rich

yes mate i would definately be interested in hewell grange thats nice and local and cheap i like cheap lol

Will try and find a contact Dean, might take a while, the old boy I used to fish with at Hewell Grange might no longer be with us! The chap who managed the fishing was also a guard called Colin I think.

If only we could fish Pike's Pool still, I could catch a Pike there in less than 5 minutes!

never heard of that one ??

Nice one i will have a look at that ,i`ve also been told about gailey res near cannock anybody know about that one ??

I used to fish the lock island at Bevere, it might be BAA now.

Pike's Pool is in Blackwell Deano, on the way to the res if you go down Pike's Pool Lane. Lots of us caught our first Pike there as kids but the Scouts wont let anyone fish it now!

oh right i know the lane but i have never been down it ,i`m really getting in to this piking but its costing me a small fortune lol,i used to do a lot of piking about twenty odd years ago but as time went on carp became alot more widespread and the winters were then spent chasing carp for not alot of return so this year i`m going to concentrate on the pike more and hopefully get a bend in the rod a little more often

Are there any pike and zander in the canal at Hopwood ??

hi guys any news on the contact details for the prison lake ,and does anyone know about the canal at hopwood

Haven't been able to contact the chap i used to fish the prison lake with, lost touch, will keep trying. I doubt there's any zander in any of the canals round here mate.

Deano, got a number for HMP Hewell off government website:

Tel: 01527 785000
Fax: 01527 785001
Governor: Kieron Taylor

Suggest you don't ask for the guvnor! The chap who used to run the fishing club was a guard called Colin (he may well have retired now). Just ask about the fishing club permits.

Rich

Excellent i will defo give that a try thanks Rich

What about pike stocks in the canal ??
