There is a great history of pike angling literature going back over many centuries.

We have tried to produce here (in alphabetical order by Author); as comprehensive a list of the books on Pike angling available. Whilst the more recent titles are of practical use for today's pikers, older ones provide historical interest with the odd hidden gem of knowledge that is still more than applicable today. If there is a book not included in this list that you feel we should include, please let us know. Year of publication is included where known.

UK publications unless marked.
