Fly Fishing for Trophy Pike
Picture this: Your guide quietly paddles into one of the many spring spawning bays, filled with lots of monster pike. You are standing on the bow with your polarized sunglasses and in awe at the amount of trophy pike, which you are spotting in the water. Your heart is pounding as you spot a 25-ponder laying in the mud. You raise your 9-weight fly rod with a Bunny Strip Streamer Fly tied on the line and you cast. As your fly hits the water a couple of feet in front of the fish and you start stripping, the water splashes into a V-shaped wave as the pike explodes towards your fly and nails it. The fight is on.
