It's hard to believe but the Big Tasty Marabou Streamer just got better. With this double hook variant I am hoping to end the problem of short strikes. This is still a super easy fly to tie but be careful with the back hook or you will be practicing removing hooks.

Craft Fur Pike Baitfish Fly
his was the fly that I used to win a small Pike tournament in Sweden. The tournament was a bunch of people that all work in the same industry which made it all the more fun to win because now I can brag about it to my work colleagues until next year. I know that there were no pros or big names fishing this event, but there were a lot of fish caught. We weekend warriors put the smack down on the pike. Wining this little tournament still isn't the big news. The big news is that i had easily over 20 strikes fishing this fly in shallow water anywhere from 2 to 6' and you can have the same kind of action. Like most strikes from a pike, they were violent, and this fly was durable enough to take hit after hit and its clearly not done. The Craft Fur Pike Fly lives lives to fish again.
Materials;
Size 4/0 Stainless Steel Hook
Thread, Color of your choosing
.20 Lead Thread
Flashabou UV, Opal (Gold, Yellow, Opal Blend)
Polar Flash, Silver
Titan Dubbing, White
Ripple Ice, Fire Red
Ostrich Hurel, White
Craft Fur White, Olive
Ice Wing FIber, Minow
3D Epoxy Eyes, Red
UV Resin
I hope you enjoy the fly and have a ton of fun catching fish. I am sure that this fly would work equally in an inshore salt water application for example on Snook, Jacks, Cudas or any other aggresive ambush predator.
