Default My first pike on the fly

My first proper pike fishing trip today paid divedends.
I turned a fish then hooked a 12.5lber followed by a 8lb a 23lb and a 10lb on the last drift.
I hope my next trip is just as good but i doubt it.
I am a happy boy!
Fish was caught on saltwater fly shack pink DNA bush pig

23lber

That's a cracking fish and by the sound of it a very successful day

Brilliant catch mate. You will need to keep that place quiet

It was one of the best days fishing i have ever had Steve.
My poor mate had no luck but he was genuinely happy to see me pull in fish after fish

Who would have thought that a fly could out fish all the modern plugs and soft baits that are around these days?

I dont think i will get another day like that again.

Halcyon days Munro, they come now and again, not often enough in my case, I had one a fortnight ago on the Eden, and before that was Tinto, 4x4lbers.
