Ryan Kral Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hello again all. As in my last post, I am attempting to tie an "Angel Hair" streamer, and am having a hell of a time. My first time tying a fly like this, and using this material. I get a nice clump of material to tie in, but more than half of it will end up pulling out while I'm working the product(gently) back. I'm tying it tight, so I dont know how to avoid wasting so much material. Any advice? If anyone has any suggestions on easier streamer patterns for muskie/pike, let me know. Last minute trip planned to Northern WI, trying to tie up some flies quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rich mc Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 are you doubling it up. tie it at the half way point with half of it going over the hook eye. once tied double back the front section and tieit down at the same spot. i like blantons flashtail whistler for pike and muskies. rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 An easy fly that has worked for Northern Pike for me is a double bunny. One long piece of rabbit zonker tied in on the length of the shank and a second piece of cross cut rabbit tied in and wrapped around the shank. Very easy to tie and will hold up well to the toothy critters you're after. I would not advise try throwing it on a lightweight rod and line though. These are just examples below and you don't have to put a head on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asherman Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Try tying up some Murdich minnows. I've caught bass and pike on them, and they should work for Muskie especially if you tie them in bright colors. My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
