Default fly fishing for pike

Im new to fly fishing but not to fly fishing for northern pike. Does
any one have some neat Pike flies. roadkill


I've flyfished for pike on Rainy Lake. I had great luck with a large
popper with a fire tiger color scheme. I used a steel pike leader. I
avoided tying lots of knots in the wire by tying on a small snap to
attach the popper. The snap made fly changes simple. I didn't have
to worry about the added weight since I was already fishing with a
steel leader. I found heaven at dusk in the lilly pads.
