Autumn Popping

Its been a fantastic autumn for me here in Kuru. No massive pike to write home about but as I have said many times before I couldn't care less what size they are, I am just so grateful and fortunate to be able to spend as much time as I do Fly-fishing for pike in some of the most picturesque wilderness on some of the most pristine lakes the world has to offer.

"Location,Location,location by boy". Haven't we heard that before.I'd spent the good half of the morning with nothing to show for my efforts then within a ten minute period I first caught this 3kilo on a frog imitation

And then this 3.2kilo caught on a Bally bomber

I have 42 lakes within a 12km square radius of my home to choose from but the other day I just had to walk 5 minutes to catch this cracker on one of my own "Grim Reaper poppers".

This was caught last weekend in Vaasa in the Baltic sea in conditions I can only describe as utterly miserable. Still didn't stop me from getting in the boat though.
