    Pike on the fly is the best! Here in europe it's highly popular in the fly fishing community. Very interesting these rather small to mid sized pike in Ohio are so old. I fished in some waters in germany where 40 inch plus pike are only 7-8 years old.

    Brian! I am a new angler and your awesome video series got me started on fly fishing. I wanted to share a short story I recently experienced while fishing just off the local river in my area.
    It was about 5:30 in the evening and I was alone using a 5/6 weight fly rod. I was getting zero action for about a solid hour so I make my way back to the shore to change my fly. I kneel down and my back is to the river bank. Behind me I hear light splashing and so I turn my head and I kid you not a 50 pound beaver emerged from the water and charged me!!!
    I was absolutely terrified and it backed me into a bush. I had to kick the beast in the head just so I could maneuver around it. To make matters worse the poor thing somehow got hooked in my fly and so I had to cut the line and watch as it slowly swim back out into the river. I called park management and told them all about it. They had a good laugh...
    I also returned the very next morning to check and see if the beaver had died but it managed to remove the fly and so I waded out into the water and grabbed my line and leader.
    I will never forget the way it kept charging me with those big yellow/orange front teeth! Scariest encounter with wildlife for me yet! I missed the video where you show us how to deal with crazed beavers. I never even knew they were such lethal ambush predators!
    Thanks Brian

      H.B, lol. was on a fishing trip at Salt Fork Lake in Ohio. One of my buddies got out the boat to get some firewood. Then got charged by a Beaver that came out of a washed out bank. He grabbed a stick and poked it to get it away. Otherwise it would had done some serious damage to his leg. Have seen beavers while fishing my entire life. Did not realize they where aggressive until then. At least we were able to laugh about it later at the campfire.

    Top water fly fishing for ‘gators is one of my favorites as well Brian. Thirty plus inch is a darn fine specimen in just about any water. I still have a blue/white/silver articulated streamer that’s probably 40 years old and has been repaired countless times. It still works the best for me. Thanks for the entertaining video.

    They are on my bucket list for sure. I grew up catching them on spinning tackle in western NY but need to try for them with the fly rod. I imagine they'd attack most of the flies I use for back-country snook here in Florida, all fish seem to like red and white:)

    • @Madriveroutfitters

      The flies we are using are 6-9" in length usually so typically bigger than a snook fly. Red and White is right though.

    What kind of gear were you running for this video? I've been bass & pike fishing on the fly at lakes in MN and people look at you kinda funny when you start putting your fly rod together but I noticed that I tend to get a lot more action than my buddies running traditional plastics and rapalas. I think the common streamer patterns aren't as heavily pressured so the fish respond better to them.
