Description
Barry Reynolds and John Berryman use a seasonal approach to teach you everything you need to know to catch northerns, tigers, and muskies on a fly. There are chapters on pike gear, favorite pike flies, fishing for trophy pike, and planning a trip to Canada, the pike angler’s mecca. Other chapters deal with flyfishing for pike in rivers, special tactics for tigers, and state by state pike fishing information, including top spots, state records, and stocking facts.
