I took David Child (AKA YakFish) from Yakima out for a little pike fishing on the P.O.River. He had never caught a pike before and we hooked him up on this beauty the first morning in some tough fishing conditions. It was just a hair under 10 pounds. Plus he got it on a fly he tied himself on instructions from me on what to tie up. Here are a few picks.

Nice Pike and congrats on catching it on your own fly. Also, thanks for releasing that beauty. Those are the prime size fish to protect for future trophies. Congrats again. I know sparky definitely is jealous. It looks like fly fishing is the ticket early in the season.

Thats a fine catch! Nothing better then nailing one on the fly.

Oh no! Fish-N-Fool is giving out all my secrets ;)

So, who wants to go take the Zero2Hero Muskie fly fishing class with me in Wisconsin? I've been giddy ever since I watched the DVD: http://www.muskycountryoutfitters.com/Z ... ption.aspx

But I gotta get back up to the PO'R and practice some more to get in shape.

Thanks again for taking me out FNF!

If FNF invites you to go out with him, do it.
