Implantation
The Pike is in Europe safe everywhere in Norway and Scotland, like in the North-West of Spain and the south of Italy. It is also present at the United States and Canada. In France it is well places established in the Northern half of the country.
Lifestyle
The Pike, sedentary and recluse, attend quiet water, with low or stagnant currents. Thus one finds it present in the lower exchange rate of the rivers but also in the channels, the lakes and the ponds. In this water it will choose places which make it possible to hide (herbaria, stocks…). Living hidden in general in the vegetation or the darkness of the content, the Pike has a territory in the extent corresponds to its size or the wealth of food. It has a post of rest and several posts of hunting.
The technique of hunting of Pike is very specific. Of its post of hunting or it is dissimulated, it collects the proximity of a prey thanks to its directions (seen, vibration and perception of chemical signals). The Pike directs itself towards the identified prey and starts a very discrete approach so much so that only the pectoral fins are moving. With less than 30 cm of its prey, it leaps on it has a speed being able to reach ilometer(s) per hour. Seizing its prey preferably by through, it will turn it then to introduce it.
The Pike nourishes itself that a few days per week. According to its size, it is admitted, that the Pike consumes nevertheless each day the equivalent from approximately 3% of its weight.
The sexual maturity of the male intervenes towards age the 2 years and a year later in the female. The laying intervenes from February with the end of April in water between 7 and 10°C. It is later in the septentrional areas. Several males accompany each female and will very quickly fertilize eggs deposited in the herbaria. It should be noted that the laying is split and occurs over several days.
Incubation will last from 15 to 30 days and this according to the temperature of water. Then nature will make its work by allowing a rate of

The body of Pike is lengthened and cylindrical. Its dorsal fins, anal and pelvic are located very behind. That allows him a great force of propulsion.
Its head has a flattened muzzle and a largely split mouth. The mouth of Pike understands more than 500 teeth sharp-edged, placed as well on the jaws as on the palate and the language. This carnivore has a visual capacity very developed with eyes placed on the top and in front of the head.
The Pike has sensory airframes not only on the side line, but also on the head and under its jaw. Its green colors and yellows enable him to be dissimulated in grasses. With an excellent angle of vision, it can appreciate the distances and melt on its prey. The sides of pikes are very often marked yellow spots.

survival of youthful of about 0,5% on average. The growth of Pike is optimal in a water with 20°C and null in a too cold water (5°C) or too heat (28°C). Increasing noted the first years of life is such as:
1 year = 8 to 16 cm for 100 to 200 G
2 years = 15 to 33 cm for 250 to 1.000 G
3 years = 20 to 50 cm for 1.000 to 2.500 G
4 years = 29 to 61 cm for 1.500 to 3.500 G
Fish… with sharp
To sin it with sharp, to use a cane with pike (or carp) of 3,. A large float of a range sufficient for the sharp one used will enable you to detect the keys and the departures.

Taking into account the many teeth which the pike has, the use of a very solid bottom of line is imperative. The bottom of line steel of forty centimetres is generally appropriate. But attention, because if you fall on a large subject, he is preferable to have a bottom of line much longer (80 cm). With the end, 2 triple installed on an roach or a , will dive the carnivore.
With the artificial decoy
The use of a shorter cane (approximately 2,) and of a good power (g) is undoubtedly ideal. Poisson-swimmer or undulating spoon attracts by their vibrations and their colors the posted pike in the vicinity.
In pond, fish Pike with the spoon
At the beginning of summer, the alevins are abundant. The pikes take the practice to nourish these particularly easy preys. The spoon of small size gives excellent results at the time of a fishing party. Near the herbaria, motionless but with a sufficient depth to find a layer of sufficiently fresh water, the Pikes watch for their preys.
A cane from 2,50 to eters, rather stiff, equipped with a winch of the cruiser-weight type will be appropriate perfectly to sin with the revolving spoon. The winch must be reliable and its reel furnished to the brim with Nylon from 26 to 30/100. At its end a steel of a resistance of g will allow you very beautiful captures.
With one limps with spoon filled well, privilege the sizes N2 or 3. leaded under the pallet. They can have different colors - those with pallet silver plated with problems or reds - to see different equipment. For example, those with a hook furnished with a red pompom. It is the animation which you give who makes your spoon gravitational. The , of management, height are always favorable to the attack of pike. Let descend the decoy to a depth one meter and go up by amending recovery. After some throws on the post and if that does not give anything, hardly move of a few meters and start again.
