Welcome to the ACA British Pike Championship pages. 2007 Pike Final confirmed for 10th Novemeber at Whittlesey AA water

It is an exciting time for the British Pike Championships and we are pleased to announce important changes to this year's competition. Fox International will support the Pike Final as the championships' principal sponsor. Fox will be offering great prizes to include hundreds of pounds worth of tackle vouchers for the overall and section winners, along with predator tackle and clothing. They have arranged for Fox consultants and angling celebrities Mick Brown and Dave Kelbrick to present the prizes at this year’s final. There will also be much larger cash payouts for the winners than in previous years.

The venue for the event, Whittlesey Angling Association Water will, for the first time in the history of the competition, be double pegged to ensure that catch rates and the overall competitiveness of the final will be improved.
