Talking First pike on the fly!

I went to Coal lake spill way last night and caught my first pike with my fly rod! Yes, I know he is very little but it was still good to get one landed Hopefully the first of many to come!

It's a blast catching them with the fly rod. Now you have to feed the addiction.

I was using a red and white streamer about 8 inches below the surface. The creek is only about 15 feet across and two or three feet deep so it was basically sight fishing which was cool I am actually going down to Okotoks this weekend to see my girlfriend, any places you would have in mind where I could fly fish and she could hardware fish? Besides the sheep, she already said no to river fishing haha
