Pike fishing in Lithuania
Pike fishing in Lithuania is one of the most popular fishing methods. In order to catch one or another fish, you first need to know it. After finding out where the pike lives, how and what it eats, in which parts of the lake it is kept and what kind of terrain it prefers, you will immediately be able to exclude a large part of the lake where it is not worth fishing if your goal is pike.

The back is greenish gray, the sides are grayish green. The belly is bright. The sides are spotted, often the spots on the body form transverse bands. This concealing color helps to camouflage. Pike can be gray-green, gray-brown, gray-yellow - this is determined by the living environment.
The head is long and flat from above. Scales are elongated. Lateral line almost straight, continuous or dotted. The elongated body and fins located in certain places allow the pike to suddenly attack the prey. The European pike has up to 700 very sharp teeth. Jaws with sharp teeth of various sizes, inclined towards the pharynx. Teeth are also present on the palate, tongue, and gill arches. The teeth of the upper jaw are tilted back to prevent the prey from slipping. The teeth of the lower jaw are larger and grow vertically, which can grow up to 2.5 cm in length.

Does not refuse frogs, small aquatic mammals.
The pike has excellent vision. It is sometimes called a "freshwater shark" because of its ability to ambush. Does not like to hunt in open areas.

Their constantly moving throat fins, swim bladder, and unpaired fins help them stay stationary for long periods of time.
