Pike on the fly
« on: May 26, 2017, 04:45:15 PM »


Avoided all the crazies this holiday weekend and headed North for a couple days mid week to get some work done on the cabin. I can never go near the Au Sable without sneaking in some fishing so after getting the yard work done yesterday evening I grabbed the 10wt fly rod and a box of pike flies I have been tying the past few weeks and hit the river for a couple hours. It was more like an October day with the cold drizzle and fog but was well worth it since I had numerous smaller pike chase the fly and then on the last cast this nice one just nail the streamer and put up a heck of a good fight.

Nice Steve.  I nailed a few last week out of the Huron in Ann Arbor while waiting for my brother at lacrosse practice.

I wasn't able to make it north this weekend so I'm a little jealous.
