Muskie or Musky - great fish on the fly rod

If you are interested in catching a big musky (or muskies), or any pike, on a fly rod or other tackle this book is an excellent sourse of useful information on the fish, how to hunt them, what equipment you need and how to rig. Very worthwhile reading before a day on the water with a good guide.

Great Book

I found this book extremely useful. I moved to Minnesota (land of pike) from New Mexico (land of trout). Very few people in Minnesota fly fish, and most that do fish only for trout. Because of this, it is very hard to find people to teach you what you will need to catch pike/muskie on the fly. I combined this book with one evening with a guide, and I am now catching pike. When I'm not catching fish, I now have a good understanding about what I should try changing. I'd be lost without this book. It has saved me years of trial and error.

After reading the book, I started taking a thermometer out with me while I fish. When the water is above about 70, I know my odds of catching a pike while wading are low so I switch to bass.

When you catch your first pike, you'll be hooked. Mine was a small pike, but it was larger than the biggest trout I ever caught.

Think like a predator!

I had the privilege to work on a TV show called HIGH COUNTRY OUTDOORS with Barry the same year he and John wrote PIKE ON THE FLY. I devoured this book and still have it on my shelf in close reach. The techniques aren't just old hackneyed phrases but are true tested tactics gleaned from Barry's experiences. I know of no better way to understand the ways of flyfishing for pike and other large gamefish than to read this book over and over. I refer to it for much more than just pike and muskie, its a great handbook to have when I want to think like a fish.

Pike on the Fly

I read this book then went to Canada fly fishing for Pike. I found out that Barry Reynolds knows fly fishing for Pike. Take the advice of this book and you WILL catch Pike, lots of Pike on a fly rod.

Compared to Murray's Flyfishing for Smallmouth Bass, expect vague generalizations without enough specifics to sink your teeth into.

reviews: page 1, 2

Barry Reynolds and John Berryman use a seasonal approach to teach you everything you need to know to catch northerns, tigers, and muskies on a fly. There are chapters on pike gear, favorite pike flies, fishing for trophy pike, and planning a trip to Canada, the pike angler?s mecca. Other chapters deal with flyfishing for pike in rivers, special tactics for tigers, and state-by-state pike fishing information, including top spots, state records, and stocking facts.
