Review
Pike and Freshwater Predator Fishing in the British Isles is a brand new release from Steve Rogowski and is a unique volume of very in-depth chapters on the UK s main predatory species. The 6 main chapters focus on: pike; Steve Rogowski, Catfish; Simon Clarke, Eels; Steve Ormond, Perch; Mark Barrett and Zander; Neville Fickling. Each author covers their specialist species in their own style with detailed advice given on tackle, rigs, baits and how to care for your fish. There are also tales of fishing experiences to put the reader on the bankside. Steve then concludes the book with a sobering chapter on future challenges that freshwater predators face. --Pikelines
