The waterpushing pike fly is nowadays a very popular pattern, especially for its ability to catch large pike. This articulated version has the same function as the original pattern but with a slightly longer body consisting of 2 hooks. In fact, this pattern is easier to cast than the original. But hold on to your gear because this is a fly that is liked by the big girls .
