In midsummer is more difficult to catch pikes, but it is not impossible. Among reeds, you can catch pikes, which weight below 2.2 pounds (1 kilo), but bigger pikes has gone to deep places. In midsummer also you can catch big pikes if you can fish them from the deep places. In midsummer big pikes rise to eat certain (not deep and not low) water layer. You should know right water layers that you can float your lures in right depth. In midsummer catching smaller pikes you can float your lures also quite fast, but to big ones slower.

Use in clear water dark colored lures and in dark water clear colored lures. Each lake has also its own colors, which entice pikes and moreover in different weather conditions (brightness and, etc.) some lures work better than others. When you try, you learn!
