Default Pike fly info

Hi All,
I have been tying flies for a little over a year now and enjoy it immensely. I also have been trying my hand at some flyfishing for pike of late and have enjoyed a certain degree of sucess but have so far found a double figure pike rather elusive.
However, I wish to attempt tying a few of my own patterns for pike but cant seem to find any online information regarding different patterns, materials, hooks etc. Are there any websites that provide this information? There doesnt seem to be the same plethora of material info available for his diversification of the sport in comparison to trout or salmon flies.

Any help would be appreciated.

Apologies if this should be in the fly tying section.
