Flyfishing for pike – what a debut

We have just received a report from our Test team member Mikael Särelin, Finland. From what “Mikey” writes it seems like the pike fly fishing in his local brackish water estuaries is hot right now:
“Last weekend I went floattubing for pike with my friend Erkki. Erkki is a hardcore flyfisherman but has no prior experience of flyfishing for pike, so I figured it was time to do something about it. I invited him over and we spent the weekend fishing. We had a great time and Erkki caught his first ever pike on the fly. Better yet, we hooked two large specimens simultaneously. While Erkki's pike weighed in on respectable
10,9 kilos, mine measured 7,3 kilos. We caught both pike on my home-tied Slinky Fibre flies. Erkki was using a RIO Scandinavian Pike WF10F/S2 line and I was fishing a Rio Outbound short WF9F/I line together with my Hardy Zane rod and reel”.

10.9 10.9 kilos! Erkki was flyfishing for pike for the first                   
but probably not last time.

It took the fly simultaneously with the big one Erkki caught.
