Hey Guys I know some of you are from Europe and I was looking for a little advice. I am heading to Scotland(Edinburgh) Nov16-22, I have a couple questions about fishing over there:

Is there any good pike fishing in this area? or if not will there be any good fishing oppurtunities this time of year? I am willing to try anything. I just like to get a little fishing in whenever I go on vacation.

Thanks in advance.

Put a post on the board at www.pikeandpredators.co.uk I'm sure one of the locals will drop you a line about what and where, or even offer to take you themselves. I would offer, but I'm in London.

P.S. Don't worry about the hostility of some of the discussions on the board. The culture is different to the American boards and people like to argue instead of agree with one another. Also the moderation is a lot more moderate!

Eggs, I'd assume?

Steve, they poach golf balls there, not eggs. Hard to bite, but the Scottish are tough. Just look at their teeth.

Bring it on, Peterson.

Not to put forth another board, but esoxhunter.com has a lot of European pike fishermen on board these days. You might want to give a post over there. http://www.esoxhunter.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=1
