July 22, 2010 - Pine Lake Pike

Pike on the fly

Took the family fishing this past weekend. Realistically with all the kids wanting in the boat, it was more boating with some lines in the water.

I took advantage of every minute searching for and site-fishing for Pike. It was crazy hot and the Pike were suspended and sun-bathing in the weedbeds.

With my eight weight and some new dry line I was able to cast out some chunky, home-tied flies (red and white) in front of them. With some subtle pulses and twiches I caught a couple of nice ones including a legal 28 inch six pounder fit for dinner.
