Beginner Pike Fly with Saddle Tails by Niklaus Bauer

So here it is, a simple beginner’s pike fly which you can variate in different colors, sizes and if you don have the exact same materials it’s going to be fine anyway. A beginner’s pattern has been highly asked for buy you guys on social media, so I hope you find it interesting. This pattern is simple to cast, and it catches a lot of pike, and of course other spices too. Tie up a bunch and I hope to see you out there.
