fly fishing for pike

Around here, Northern Wisconsin I use 6 to 9" Streamers for Norhtern and Muskie
in my backyard. From time to time a popper will work.


In Boulder Junction, there is a Fly shop called We-Tie-It that specializes in
Norhtern and Muskie Flies. I believe they have a web-site, and they do have a
nice publication and a video.

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.

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.

I'd love to hear the results. I don't know enough about Tarpon, but
I'll bet the Barracuda will take it.

Have a great trip,

Chas

That shop is at www.wetieit.com I just dug it up, and I like it.
Those Musky flies are huge.
