I have a 9ft Shakespeare Odyssey Fly AFTM 7-8 fly rod and size 8 saltwater fly line.

Would this be appropriate for pike fishing?

Yes, that's appropriate.

Yes, thats fine.

New barbless hooks are here

What wire traces should I use and how big?

Are there special traces for fly fishing or do we use the same ones as we do for coarse fishing?

Also what should my setup be for my leaders?

I use: 2-4ft 40lb mono, 2-4ft 20lb mono, 6" 15lb tygerwire barrel swivel to the mono and large crosslock snap to the fly; total usually about 8' on a floater or 5' on a sinker. There are cheaper options to tyger wire, pre-formed traces or if you get the bug make up your own

Does anyone know if Jackson's Fishing Tackle in Barnoldswick sells any pike hooks, preferably 'Ad Swier' hooks???

I am now considering tying some pike flies which I have seen in the June 2006 issue of Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Magazine.

I'm looking for the following materials

• H20 Slinky Fibre in colours white, black, orange, yellow, red, green
• Flouro Fibre in orange and pink
• Orvis Prismatic or Lureflash Eyes or similar
• Partridge "Ad Swier" Pike hooks in size 6/0 and one size smaller.

If anyone knows where to buy these cheap then please tell me.

Does anyone know how much material there is in a packet of Slinky and Flouro fibre?

i have some of the prismic eyes cheap if your interested.

WCB

Thank you for the offer, but I don't know what size to use.




I also forgot to mention that I need some UV Fritz in pearl and maybe in black.
