If you enjoy reading about pike fishing then you will find plenty to keep you interested in this huge list of books. Most of the titles are purely about pike angling and there are both technical and insiprational titles to choose from. You will also find I have included some general angling books that contain chapters about pike. One thing is for sure, you'll never be stuck for choice.
Many of these books are still available. Click on the book cover or title to open an affiliate link to Amazon. Where known, the publishers website for each book is also linked.
Please let me know if there are any other books that should be included, especially the newly published ones. I wish you all gook luck in tracking them down.
