Fishing Guides: Weather, Seasons, Lures and Techniques
Practical, plain-language guides for spinning anglers. We focus on things you can use on your next trip and explain the reasoning, so you can adapt it to your own water.
- Pressure and fishingDoes air pressure affect fishing? What pressure is best for pike, perch and zander, why the trend matters more than the number, and how to use pressure in trip planning.
- Pike in autumnHow to catch pike in autumn: how pike behaviour changes from September to November, where they move as the water cools, the best lures and retrieves, and daily timing.
- Lure colour guideHow to choose lure colour for pike, perch and zander: a chart by water clarity, light and depth, plus the simple logic behind it so you can adapt on the water.
The guides are grouped around the three decisions every trip involves. When to go: how weather, pressure and season change predator activity. Where to fish: which structures pike, perch and zander use at different times of year. What to tie on: lure types, colours and retrieves for the conditions you find. Each guide links to the matching species page and to the bite forecast, so you can go from reading to planning in one step.
New guides are added regularly. If there is a topic you would like us to cover, let us know via the support page.
