A beginners guide to Pike fishing  

Great work Lindsay, one of my favourites so far - extremely informative.

I stopped fishing for Pike a long time ago, but there is still one method I use for 4 to 6 weeks a year if I can. Fishing Pike on a fly rod on surface flies like a deer hair mouse or a Frog, can be heart stopping! I took the pastor from a local church out years ago and he was fishing with the standard Red and white Spoon. He looked at my frog fly very dubiously, but he was polite and said nothing. I only had to cast into the rushes about 20 to 30 feet, the frog was weedless. The first fish blew that frog up out of the water and I missed it because I struck too soon, but the next fish hit it right from under the boat and got us wet! I brought it in, not big, maybe 5lbs. But heart stopping! The Pastor asked if he could fish a frog if I had a spare. We Mickey moused it on his spinning Rod with a small split shot and he hooked the next one! It was crazy! Those fish nearly caused several heart attacks! Here the waters are quite warm and Pike do not fight hard unless you catch them in a cold water lake, so on the surface from ice out to the end of June, is my favorite time. Are your waterways cooler?

another good pike fly fishing video,

Another great day out Lyndsay. I’ve been a course fisherman for many years and my best on a mackerel dead-bait was 13lb and I agree..... they are scary! lol. Thank you for another one dude.

Fantastic session 💪🏻🎣🔥

Absolutely amazing video. Really informative and really well thought out. Epic session and certainly one you’ll remember 👍🏻👌🏻

Great work Lindsay. Ben’s pike flies are top notch.

I'm dying to get 1 on the fly, absolutely loved that video and well done on the 12lb pike!

What a result!! Nice work, great video!! 👍👍

Well done guys, another great video 👍

Looked great crack was thinking of giving it a go lyndsey so it just made my mind up cheers

Nice one, going out this winter for pike as well. I'm keen to see what you bring to the vice and where and what materials you use.

I do a lot of pike fly fishing on the Edinburgh union canal with my 7 weight and smaller streamers up to about 5 inches. Great fun! I imagine with your accent you know where I’m talking about. 🤘

Nice video, more like that please.

Very good video with lots of detail. Can you do a follow up showing how the flys are constructed and how the tails are added? It’s a a whole new universe!

Great video really enjoyed that but not as much as u both lol. The baby bass fly i mentioned would be a killer for you on these Pike. Maybe you could copy it in a tutorial giving your own unique version? Tight lines
