all the best pike_fly_angler

i can recomend tobys(w.c.b) materials for pike(see the classified).great colours,very easy to use and also very cheap.cheers.steve

thats great lads thank very much any other ideas would be gratefully recieved bily p

Ep, EP and maybe EP fibres

Available through lots of places including Orvis, Lakeland, Flytec etc etc

As previously mentioned Billy, wcb (Toby) on here is a great guy to deal with. He can fish a bit too. The material he is selling at the moment is very similar to EP fibres, comes in a great range of colours and is at a very good price.
Good fishing,
Andy.

I haven't tried any of Toby's stuff or EP for that matter... On naturals it is hard to beat Icelandic Sheep (no they aren't a bunch of bankers ) and Bucktail... mixed with a bit of sparkly stuff... coincedentally Barry Reynolds swears by the stuff and my pike haven't complained!!!

I'd quite like to mix some of Toby's stuff in with it to bulk up and give tandems extra volume... I've only started tying but have a couple of creations on my blog... for folk to crit... pike aren't as discerning as trout!!

hi andy i have sent toby a pm and will be placing an order soon as possible .any recomendations on hooks, at the moment im using my scott s4 8weight but will be upgrading to a 9ft 10 weight billy

pike fly angler the two links you gave me arent working my freinds any other links mate

I tend to use TMC 600s or 800s in size 2 or 1.

Varivas hooks are great as well.
