Fly Fishing for Pike:"Hammer Handles"

Posted on September 09 2005

Ken Marsh gives advice on fishing one of Alaska’s numerous lakes for pike, which have made home of many traditional trout waters. “To catch pike Monday I cast an 8-weight fly rod with floating line, 10 inches of steel leader and some brightly-colored streamers tied on No. 3/0 galvanized hooks. Steel leader — I use Iron Thread by Fenwick because it is pliable and easy to work with — is needed to keep pikes’ sharp teeth from cutting leaders.” In the Alaska Daily News.
