I haven't for a few years, but used to go every year on the opener and fish all night .
One year we had some REALLY big fish, with several new flyfishers, and the action was non stop!
I tie a fly I designed just for pike and walleye, it works great.
The basis of the fly is on a 37140 Mustad
that is bent " Fernandez style" in the vice before dressing and weighted in the belly so it runs with the point up.
This way I can bounce it over logs and rocks on the very bottom with very little issues of getting snagged.
I'll try and get some pics up later on of the flies and some fish.
Some were past 27" and were caught on 6 weight rods .
I normally use a 7 or 8 weight however.
