Fly Tying

Pike flies, 1 hook, hook and articulated shank, or double hook?

Recommended Posts

I’m not a freshwater tyer at all but I’m lucky enough to be one of Umpqua Feather Merchants’ contract tyers.  When I told them that one of my tarpon patterns was being used by pike and musky anglers - things got interesting and now the same pattern (the Tarpon Snake) is also being sold in shops worldwide as the Pike Snake... Who knew?
 

Here's a photo or two of the original Tarpon Snake...

In all black (body and tail are both wide, webby dyed black saddles) the original - a deadly deepwater big tarpon fly... Here are a few of the many color variations...

Now for one of Pike Snake variations... Done up on a 3/0 hook they're available in red/white, chartreuse, as well as orange/yellow... 

All of the ones I tie up come with a wire weedguard - pretty handy for the places pike hang out in...

Now that is a great looking set I know that you will have a blast chasing the pike in your area you may want to tie on longer ones
