Pike fishing is often considered to be a winter pastime and , indeed, deliberatley fishing for pike during the spring and summer months is frowned upon in some quarters.

Studies show that tagged pike have shown that correctly handled pike suffer no ill effects from being captured on flies or lures during the warmer months.
