Keeping with the spirit of bring our visitors items of ineterest, despite a need to go fishing, two new articles are now available to read on the NACA Publications, Journal Extracts list.

Both have a pike fishing theme, perhaps getting the juices flowing in time to prepare and plan a coming winter pike campaign where ever you may fish.

The first 'A Week in Paradise' by Jason Davies, recalls a very special week in one season where he manages a couple of very large fish.

The second is again pike themed and is Chris Oakley's recollection of a dream, 'Bawburgh Lakes - Building the Dream'

Take a look.
