FLY-FISHING FOR PIKE  by Paul Le Gall, translated by Claude BELLOIR

8 - FISHING ACTION

As announced in the foreword, neither fishing nor casting techniques will be dealt with to avoid repeating what's already been abundantly published elsewhere.

Only a few remarks dealing with the power casting required by fly-fishing for pike, as well as basic caution, appear. Click on  "Casting".

The frustration felt by the angler after a brutal strike and a missed take brings about some thoughts derived from experience. Click on  "Strike and missed takes".

Finally, the debatable ways in which the fight with a fish are still too often used make it necessary, it seems to me, that a few old brand tricks to land and put fish back should be better known. For more information, click on  "Landing and releasing fish".
