Pike Smashes Fly! 

I hadn’t noticed so thanks - that’s good to know. Still find shorts a little lacking in substance. I make them but feel dirty and cheap afterwards

Hi, I used to think it was bad catch and release practice, but have since been told it's a fairly common deformity caused by a genetic flaw in all types of fish, but more obvious in Northern European Pike. I've not seen anything particularly reliable online about this, so can't say how true it is. Interesting stuff and thanks for commenting.

I certainly did, my old fruit! All part of the fun...

Crazy isn't it. I think that's because the fish follow the fly in and make a last minute decision into whether to take thefly or not as it speeds up before being lifted from the water.

Watched this a few times now , quality

@@carperblue thanks - hope that’s through choice and not because I’ve plastered it everywhere! 😂

@@Fishwish brilliant, yes I seen it on fb and here. But it’s a good watch. Probably watched it 6 times would guess . I unfollow people that I don’t enjoy watching. Or who just get on my tits😄. So thumbs up from me 👍😆.

I thought it was the wind (excuse the pun) 😂

Thanks 🙏

Thanks 😊
