Flash Tubes For Pike

Woke up early this morning, opened my front door and a very strong wind wafted into my face. Well, that’s autumn. So, no fishing today. Tied some flashy tubes for pike this morning. Each one is tied a little bit different. I’m curious which one will works best.

Quick flash tube

A quick flash tube using different colors of flash, bucktail, two grizzly hackles, Senyos laser dub and two eyes. Very simple, but it moves awesome in the water.

Pike Tube Fly

I tied this pike tube on a clear Pro Sportfisher Flexitube using feathers, bucktail, different kinds of flash, ostrich, senyo’s laser dub and 15mm living eyes „ice“ from Flymen Fishing Company. It got a total length of 22cm. Looking forward to cast this tube next to some crocs.

Natural Colored Pike Flies

Some articulated pike flies in natural colors tied on 4/0 hooks. I don’t know why, but I got a lot of faith in it at the moment.

…warm up for the ADH-Fishing Spring Fair

I’m invited to tie at the spring fair of ADH-Fishing on march 2nd+3rd, 2013. I’m really looking forward for this great event. Guests will be Christopher Rownes, Mikael Frödin, Stefan Bauer from the Vision Team, Andy Weiß, Allan P. Bloch from Guideline, Jens Kilian and Sepp Fuchs.Big names in casting and tying!

The fair is a big highlight every year! I hope to see you there! It will be a blast!

TOF PIKE FLY (79)

Articulated Pike Streamer

Well, it’s raining, wind is blowing really strong and the snow melts. Right weather to tie a fly, watching fish porn and dreaming about the fishing season to come.

I used the 35mm Articulated Shanks and the new Living Eyes „Ice“ from Flymen Fishing Company for it for this pattern, together with arctic fox, zonker stripe and Senyo’s Laser Dub.

Wiggle-Fox for Pike

Inspired by my buddy Alex Jobski, I tied this Wiggle-Fox tuned with a Zonker Stripe. Looks pretty cool! Thanks Alex! ;-)

Mean Green Pike Piercer

A cold sunday afternoon. After a very stressful week, I was sitting at my tying desk, not directly knowing what to tie. I just let my ideas flow. The result is a big pike tube fly, the „Mean Green Pike Piercer“. It’s tied on a Pro Sportfisher Flexi Tube and for the head I used a Pro Softhead.

….big is beautiful…

After tying some flies for grayling in size 18 & 20 I decided to tie two pike flies on Partridge Predator hooks size 4/0 as an equalization….one very colorful, the other one in muted colors….

Tied mainly with rabbit stripes and arctic fox.
