Cracking read, I had my 9ft fly rod and reel with me last year and my mate had a pike fly wih him, we blanked al day on deads so I thought why not, set the fly rod up and couldnt beleive
What hapened, 1st cast never fly fished for pike before striped it 3 foot from were it landed and bang, 4lb pike on the fly 1st cast, going to buy al the gear next year
It maybe only small but it was a good pull
