Great tie on the pike fly!!!
For flies that I tie for pike I use a # 2 hook mustad 34007. What size of hook and make did you use for this fly? Thanks.

I have been using mustad hooks all the time.
I have no complaint about them for how long that I have been using them but this year I've had a few of them bent back realized that the fish wasn't holding on. Oh well. In that case I will checking more often to see if the hook is ok.
Also I was wondering if that pack of hooks wasn't made properly to begin with. I will start a new bunch of flies with a new set of mustad hooks and see if this continues and if it does I will be looking for a better brand of hooks in the future.

I've had a c-clamp vice since the start of my tying. Which has been 15 years. If I can't find a table to fit, I just use the table in the tent trailer. That solves most problems on the road. I think its a solid fit. I haven't used a padestal base so I do not know all the facts but I'm sure it works as well.

Hi ladystrange.
There were lots of options to take. It was an option that you could take that was fun. It was once a week for 2 hours. This was many moons ago.

In Grade 8 we had an option to take fly tying. That was fun, what I remember. About 15 years later, I started to make flies all the time. 15 years of tying. It's a great hobby.
