Go to Top A Pike hide Beneath the Lilies

Posted: 4 May 2015

It was just after 12:20 when I was out in the sun staring into the water and saw a pike.

Pike

It must have been around 8" long. I know anglers always judge fish by weight, but I'm not an angler, so you'll always find me reporting length.

Pike

Over the next minute it moved slowly forward in the water. I normally reckon that pike stop with their head under a lily leaf. I hypothesise that this helps them to see better, without the sun's glare spoiling their vision. However, this one didn't do that, so maybe my idea is just nonsense.
