Finding River Pike

After struggling last week on the Avon for Pike i have been thinking maybe i havent been putting my spinners in the right place and am after a bit of advice on where they lay up in a river. For example on a bend would they be on the inside where the water is slower and shallower or would they be nearer the main flow in the deeper water.
Also what underwater features am i looking for? Am i right in trying sunken trees and branches and dying reed beds?
All advice will be taken onboard.

Hey,

I don't usualy go spinning for pike, but I would imagine it would be like placing a dead/live bait. Just got to find them I suspose. I had success the other day fishing the slack water at a weir, and my mate had some small jacks for the shallow water above the weir. That may help, or not lol.

It has mate. Theres a weir on the river near my town so its given me a few ideas on where to find them in there. <!-- s:idea: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_idea.gif" alt="" title="Idea" /><!-- s:idea: -->

No pike can resist this mate

Looks like a rabbits foot lol. Is this a type of fly you use for Pike fishing? Gonna be a big Trout to take that, you ever had a Trout on it?

It's a pike lure mate was given them to test out they are good they shrink and expand on the retrieve

Is it fluff or feathers? Are these available in the tackle shops yet or are you field testing them?

This is old now mate was given it last year
There called hairy killers
Made by Abu Garcia
I was given them by a field tester from them
And iv gotta say it's very good
We kinda compare there's to ours type of thing
