Pike Fly with origins
in England
This
is a Pike Fly with origins closer to home.
This is a very simple pattern, tied a bit slimmer than its european cousins and indeed as time has gone on anglers in England have taken to tying these even slimmer to enable them to cast them with standard fly rods.
The hook size for this one would be 2/0 5/0 and the wing is bucktail , an epoxy head with wobbly eyes, plus lots of pearly material for the tail.
