I beleive that any Perch colored fly: Green,Black,Yellow,or Red, that
is a streamer type pattern will work for Pike. Is this true??

try bright dark yellow / chartreuse green and orange will excite them. Also
don't be afraid to get them even up to 8 or 12 inches. they are threatened
and wil strike.

eagletip what size rod and weight line are you using? I am using a 9
foot rod with a 7 weight line. I also using a 30 lb mono tippet. I
have tried steel tippets but they are a pain. roadkill

Mono tippets are a good way to leave hooks in pike and lose flies. Try eight
inches of super-supple multistrand wire in 28lb BS, double-looped. Avoid any
wire which has a tendency to kink

Are you suggesting the use of titanium wire?

No, there are a few super-soft steel multistrands around now. They're not
super-thin, but it just doesn't matter.
