Thanks, guys. I'll do as you suggested. I'll be going after trophy
pike (42"+) and figure that size 2/0 should be big enough.

Going on a northern pike trip to northern Manitoba early in June.
Although most of my flies will be streamers, I'd like to make up some
gurglers. Last year, I used a few that I picked up somewhere and they
did well. This year I'd like to make my own. I think I know how to
make them, but I'm having trouble on what kind of foam to use and where
to buy it. I'm planing on using size 1 to 2/0 hooks. They don't have
to be elaborate, just functional. Online, I've seen 2 mm and 1/8" foam
strips. I think this is what I should be using, but I'm not sure which
size foam. Also, if I make about a dozen flies, how much foam material
will I need? Thanks.
