Northern Pike: Rod Weight & Flies
Posted by fliesandfinseast on Thursday, February 07 @ 14:16:17 PST

I have never caught a Northern Pike on a fly rod and think this might be the year to give it a shot. I have seen some videos on fishing for them and they look real aggressive on the take. Watching one take a fly in shallow water looks like fun. So, with this in mind I need some questions answered before setting out on my quest. What weight rod is reccomended? What flies are effective? and when is the best time of year?

I have heard that spring time is a good time to catch them in shallow water. 7 or 8 weight should do the trick.
