APRIL MEETING : DAVE HORTON

As the traditional Pike season comes to an end, and to see us out in style, I have managed, with much persuading, to procure the services of the one and only Mr Dave Horton.
Dave is one of the most prolific and successful pikers in the UK, as well as being the author of the now sought after tome " Ultimate Pike". Daves' presentation aptly named "Brace Yourself" will highlight Daves propensity to catch vast numbers of huge pike, and the drive that manifests itslf in those epic captures........this is one talk you REALLY do not want to miss!

The meeting is on Tuesday 6th April at the Papermakers Arms, and we will be meeting around 7 for an 8 oclock start, get there early as I think this will be a busy one

Usual buffet and raffle

Members £3.00 / Non members £4.00

ABOUT THE P.A.C.

The Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain was formed in 1977 as a direct result of changing attitudes toward pike. For far too long pike had been regarded by fishery owners and some anglers as vermin, to be killed and removed at all costs. Since it's inception, the PAC has done much to drastically change this mistaken attitude and pike are now widely regarded as a positive element in the natural balance of any fishery.Pike fishing has without doubt become one of the most specialised branches of coarse fishing. Not least in the methods of handling, unhooking and safe return of the fish once caught.The PAC works continually for the benefit of all pike and pike anglers, we seek only to further the opportunities for pike fishing, whilst preserving all that pike fishing is all about.We strive to protect pike from persecution by those who do not understand, or choose to ignore, the facts about the important role the pike plays in the balance of nature. We also work to promote pike conservation through safe practice by anglers.
