My pike problem started during the summer of 2007 in northwest Saskatchewan. It was my first trip to Canada to fly fish for pike and grayling, and I was kind of flying by the seat of my pants. Unsure what to use, I managed to tie up some serviceable streamers prior to my trip, and, while some would prove to work just fine, the first words out of the mouth of my guide, a member of the Dene First Nation in the region, were, “Too small.”
What makes a pike fly great?
