Its always great to see how other fly fisherman develop and adapt their flies to target other species, cross over flies I call them! Anyway new found fly fishing buddy Perttu Vierimaa took two well known salmon flies the "Silver doctor" & the "Green Highlander" and tied his own interpretations of the fly onto 3/0 hooks and turned them into pike flies. I would have liked to have seen the tail extended a couple of centimeters on each fly just to give it a little more length but they have given me food for thought to maybe tie up some similar models in darker colours Black,brown,Silver & off white to immitate baitfish fry, Which the pike around here seem to feeding on at the mo.
Great idea Perttu and thanks for sharing. Tight lines with these mate.
