George this is magic you have really hit on something and a big thumbs up to Tom for his net work . Blindfolding fish the keyboarders will have you for that one!!
Great stuff George , just a wee pointer on unhooking of pike , Slide your fingers underneath fish and into gills , then curl a fist back to your self . The fish s mouth automatically opens . This does no harm to fish and ensures a speedy release 👍🎣
Great video my friend, I see you tying a knot each time you tie a fly, I use the lure clips we use for bass lures this way you can change flies anytime without have to do a knot each time, get the mustad one is brilliant, been using for years and never had any issues
Great video again sir you were like a big kid in a candy shop just shows you just don't need to fish for trout with fly all the time to have a great day 😀
Love the way you liase directly with the pike to hit your streamers just at right moment for the camera …must save you a lot of editing time 😂 another great video George …some lovely fish there …well done…hope Rua is doing well
Great video George very enjoyable what length is your leader George for pike fishing I would like to see you tyie a couple of fly for pike fishing they look to be a great job
Hi George, what rod, reel and line are you using? A bendback fly is very good when very weedy, as you can tease it through weed without getting snagged.
Your covering a lot of water but fishing your fly to quick pike are ambush predators fish your flue a bit slower with pauses and fish the fly all the way in getting pike to strike a fly needs a veried retrieve with pauses and when you pause your fly that’s when you get a take as the pike attacks your fly
Great video as always. Might I suggest getting a stripping basket for around your waist. Then your fly line isn't getting knotted up or tangled in the weeds.
@@springerspanielful True they can be but if you had gotten a big pike when you had that knot in your line that might have been the reason to lose a big fish. I'm just saying cause I fish for Musky and Pike from a boat and have had my line get tangled up in my feet and lost a big fish.

Thanks, however I've been advised to avoid the gills in order to avoid any possible damage.

Well done George…man when they decide they want the fly they’re like a two year old attacking a chocolate cake 😅
That's the truth..
Great video again sir you were like a big kid in a candy shop just shows you just don't need to fish for trout with fly all the time to have a great day 😀

Apparently the Pike I've caught didn't know that..
Misfortunate poor fish to meet the two of ye😂
I know..
Them things are as tough as nails its your fingers ya got a worry bout George by...
I'm being careful, but I have incurred a couple of cuts though, inexperience.
@@springerspanielful after two or three bites you become an expert lol
Great video as always. Might I suggest getting a stripping basket for around your waist. Then your fly line isn't getting knotted up or tangled in the weeds.
I'm actually in the process of making one, I think it's an imperative.

@@Three_Rivers_Adventure Agreed, I'm working on one and will have it up and running soon..
