Bring your tying gear some really big hooks...(#2 to 3/0), some zonkers strips in your fav colour and tye along with Brian Hep and me.

 

Spring pike beware.............

 

[Paulf]

...for a person who has not tied up many pike flies...do you mean rabbit strips; mylar tubing; fishair; fish hair; 3/0 thread; etc.

...just making sure that I have the right materials...

[Ian B]

Chance's are I might not be able to get a few of those materials(Rabbit strips, maybe a few others), and I doubt we will be able to get into edmonton early enough on wednesday to pop into a store to get the stuff, So I am wondering if I may borrow someones extra's if possible?(And I will pay them for what I use of there materials) And If not that's cool too, it just mean Wabbit Season has started...

 

Thanks

Yes Paul those are the materials, Some mylar tubing and holo tinsel works too.

 

3/0 hooks are just fine

 

 

25 to 30 pound mono for happy salad guards helps.

Thanks Dennis!

 

This might be the last meeting I get to for a while(Calving is just starting), so I really want to learn how to make pike flies, for the rod I am about to finish building.

This week's meeting is Pike Flies.

Bring your gaudiest material, hooks #2 and up

and some 30lb mono if you want happy salad guards.

 

I'd love to help Dave out by demoing a tube fly for pike,

(maybe another time) but I have another engagement

Something about 40 year old Scotch.

 

PS to Dave

Can you gather and e-mail me the info for next month?

I need to start the May newsletter this weekend.
