No problem. Better to head up soon rather than later. I don’t think they stay in the shallows through the summer, although I could be mistaken. Best of luck if you head up.

Revive,

Thanks man. Arizona is pretty diverse if you do some looking around. I love those FishSkullz. They make even ugly flies look cool.

Tyson,
Stripping them back at a moderate pace in some of the shallower water. I found it important to vary the retrive to induce strikes. It was very cool to pull pike on a fly rod.

I caught my first pike up there this last weekend as well. I wasn’t fly fishing though. How were you working the flies?

Thanks Kirk. Canada sounds like fun for sure. Best of luck and I would definitely add pike to the list.

Those flies are sexy! I’m heading to Ontario, Canada this July for a walleye fishing trip and am considering going after pike on the fly. Thanks for adding some fuel to the fire!

Agreed Erin. I gingerly took a few hooks out, half expecting a crocodile like attack on my fingers. Mostly in my head though.
