As autumn hits the Fens, what will the winter bring..?

Autumn's here - as you'll already know if you've been out in the Fens today.

Some reckon it's the best time for pike fishing, as they feed up ready for the winter ahead. Others reckon you need a few good frosts to kill the weed, before it's worth venturing onto the rivers and drains.

We had frosts a-plenty last winter. Not to mention snow and a good old freexe-up that seemed to go on for weeks.

It's a bit early to start predicting what the weather's going to do - let alone the pike. While many struggled last winter, there were enough good fish coming out to keep those tuned into the grapevine keen.

Where things will differ this winter is we're having meetings again for the first time in several seasons. That means get-togethers with some top-name speakers, plus the chance to meet other pike anglers and pick their brains.

Denis Moules will be on the oche for our first one, at the Wm Burt Club at West Wiuch on Wednesday, October 26 (7.30pm). We've got Neville Fickling lined up for the November 30 (same venue), plus more speakers in the pipeline.
