EricF Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Anyone know of a good book for tying flies for northern and muskie fishing? Mostly looking for a how to book with recipes. Any thoughts would be great. I don't know of any books. But anything big and flashy will work for these guys. I know www.hatches.com has a category for pike and musky flies. To be honest, get a book on saltwater flies - like farrow and allen - and use some of those - that is pretty much what I use. Lefty's deceivers, dahlberg divers, I also like surf candy as it doesn't get chewed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmichalski Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 pike on the fly is a great book on fishing and flys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimb8s Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Barry Reynolds pike on the fly is good and also check out Bob Popovicks book called pop flyes . It is saltwater but the surf candy and some of the others are awesome and use different materials that cast very easy for freshwater use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterjay Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 swimb8s took the words right out of my mouth. Almost anything that saltwater gamefish will eat should work on pike. Bob Veverka's "Innovative Saltwater Flies" and Lefty Kreh's saltwater fly pattern book have a lot of great ideas. BTW: if you really want to try something different, you might give circle hooks a shot. Any fish that turns when it strikes is made to order for circle hooks. I use them on bluefish, and at last count, I still had ten fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonline Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I know it's not a book, but check out http://pikeflyfishingarticles.blogspot.com.au/ for a great blog. Heaps of patterns and he has some videos of tying the flies as well. http://pikeadventures.blogspot.com.au/ is another good site, and there are a heap of links on this one to others as well.
