Chas is the resident ROFF pike expert. He ties some amazing pike flies.
I have one, which is more-or-less impossible to fit neatly into my
largest flybox. I'm going to try it on tarpon in April.

Roadkill,

Although this page is in swedish http://www.gagnekulla.net/pikefly/ there
are some neat pictures of the one and only fly that the guy uses, and how to
tie it. He catches a lot of pikes each year and is only flyfishing. Take a
look.

He's a dedicated guy! 60 trips a year, all reported with pics. Like to
go fishing with the guy. I'm sure he knows his stuff.

I think any Perch streamer type pattern in green,yellow,red and black
will work. dahn fish the clear rivers, near the mouth, on the Yukon
for pike. the fish are slow and slugish but quite large ( gaught a 40
incher at the mouth of the Tannana in 1970

Roadkill thanks

Kevin Vang built a great page for our clave a couple years ago,

That's a great place to start.

One thing I'd add to what I've read in your other responses is that 8
inches of wire just isn't enough if there are any big pike around.
They can inhale a fly and have it a full foot down their throat. I've
seen 6 or 8 nice fish lost because fishermen (including myself once)
have settled for 8 inch leaders instead of tying a new one.

I've heard others comment that Alaskan pike are not great fighters. I
wonder why? Is the water too warm? Are they so well fed that they're
lazy? Is it just that Alaskans know how a King salmon fights and
consider fish who stay within a hundred yards of the angler to be
sluggish?
