Softwater Bass and Pike on the Fly

[ctranter]

These have probably been posted already, but these both got me really pumped up for this years pike and bass openers. This will be my first year targeting both on the fly rod.

 

Does anyone recognize what kind of rod/reel this guy is using?

Watch how these Northerns stalk these long topwater flies, the jaws theme is always playing in my head

Nice videos. Thanks for linking them. Never seen them before. It was almost like watching an episode of Human Planet!

 

I don't really fly fish, but I do fish for pike with flies. Tied a bunch recently and really looking forward to trying them out.

 

Cheers!
