Flies that catch pike
 
To order any of the flies listed below, or a selection of flies tied to your specifications, please contact me by phone or by email.  Generally, you can specify whether you want the flies on barbed or barbless hooks. 
 
If you don’t like the flies when you get them, simply send them back for a full refund. To date I have had no returns.
 

The Pikeducer

An enlarged version of the saltwater fly, the addition of flash and long genetic hackle in the tail gives this fly sinuous movement that is irresistible to fish.

 

The absence of materials that soak up water means it will dry quickly on the back cast and can be used on any rod from a 7 weight upwards. 

Sizes  4, 2, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0

Colours: Red; White; Yellow; Orange; Black and any combination of these colours

£2.00 each   £11.00 Half dozen

 

The Pike Bunny

This fly is tied with the old favourite, Rabbit Zonker Strip. While the fur will soak up water and be more difficult to cast than an artificial material the movement in the water is unsurpassed. Use on an 8 weight rod or above.

Sizes  1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0

Colours: Red; White; Yellow; Orange; Black and any combination of these colours

£3.00 each   £16.50 Half dozen

The Half and half

This fly is a fusion of the famous Clouser Minnow and Lefty's Deciever, weighted for a fast descent to swim upside down making it almost weedless

Sizes  1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0

Colours: Orange and Red (shown),Red; White; Yellow; Orange; Black and any combination of these colours

£3.00 each   £16.50 Half dozen

Buck tail lure

Tied with buck tail and genetic hackle this fly can be weighted if required. It provides a good profile and also has a wider body due to the method of construction

Sizes  1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0

Colours: Red/Orange(shown), Red/White; Yellow/Orange Black , White and any combination of these colours

£3.00 each   £16.50 Half dozen

Pike Flat Wing

Stolen from the Saltwater scene, this fly is all about movement and attraction. The long Emu tail sinks slowly and follows every movement of the main body of the fly in sinuous waves. Fish on a floating line with a long leader in stillwaters or on an intermediate line for rivers.

10 to 12 inches long,

Sizes  3/0 , 5/0

Colours: White, Black, Chartreuse

£3.50 each   £20.00 Half dozen
