monger Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Spooked this guy in about 5" of water this morning. I followed him upstream for a photo. What dry fly do experts suggest would work for this fellow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteFisherman Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The pike are not there to eat, the pike is there to spawn so id suggest using a slow moving streamer being there metabolism is slower in spring when the water temperatures are lower. -Bunny leech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monger Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Fishing was good, lots of the those chrome looking fish were exercised. Pike spawning in rocks along a fast riffle, OK then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentan Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 How often do you guys see Pike in the river, is it rare to spot/catch one or are they more common than I think? U see and hear lots but Ive never had an encounter on the Bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monger Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 As the water rises and warms you will see them moving into back bays and swampy spots. There is pike from Bowness to Carsland. Not sure if there is a huge population but they are around. I've seen some 10-12 lbers. Even the Rapala boys don't seem to catch too many.

U see and hear lots but Ive never had an encounter on the Bow. I usually hook into one or two of em in the spring, big ones too! But they don't really fight much, most of the time I think i'm hooked into a log or something until it starts swimming of course lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
