    Re: Any one else like hunting or fishing?

    I've used streamers (huge ones, 20-25cm long) for pike, but the fish you'd normally catch with streamers would be salmon.

    Just write the name in your own language and somebody will figure out what the name is in English.

    We call them "northern pike" (Esox lucius). They're a riot to catch .

    That's a pike alright. Wonderful to catch with ultralight equipment, I've had some really magnificent 30-minute battles with 4-6 kg (not especially big, but not small either) specimen.

    Re: Any one else like hunting or fishing?

    I love fishing and hunting, go fishing a lot in the summer, sea,carp,fly fishing, spinning , love it all.

    As for hunting ,the gun restrictions in the UK aren't exactly helpfull.I still manage to get a lot of enjoyment out of shooing rabbits,crows,magpies,pigeons+ squirrels(grey) with my .22cal 12 ft lbs pre-charged air gun.
    Sneaking up to within 20-30 yards of a rabbit is some task. Then when you loose off a shot and see it leap into the air and flash its belly, you know u hit it right in the cranium ...ahhhhhh . Then comes the skinning which always good unless of course you slip and split the intestine, then it becomes very unpleasent(you only do that once).

    Heres my weapon of choice (this insn't a pic of mine but its the same gun with the same set up)

    Does your water bowl look like a toilet, it does? Guess I will have to change it again
