Articulated waterpushing pike fly - Niklaus Bauer

The waterpushing pike fly is nowadays a very popular pattern, especially for its ability to catch large pike. This articulated version has the same function as the original pattern but with a slightly longer body consisting of 2 hooks.
In fact, this pattern is easier to cast than the original.
But hold on to your gear because this is a fly that is liked by the big girls .

I have switched to waterpushing flies for a while now. Marc Zitvast from Smartlures was very instrumental in helping me with the foam bars, rigs, tieing materials and I have to admit they work superbly! I would be lieing if I wrote I wouldn’t like to win this fly! 😀 It looks so amazing and I have found this type of pike fly often outfishes other patterns in The Netherlands. Bufords being right up there at the list as well!

Riktigt schysst gäddmat! Fick första gäddan på fluga för 2 veckor sen. Beställde ett spö och nu är det kört tror jag. Tight lines!

I am just starting my adventure with fly fishing for pike. The dream was to catch a pike - for fly made by my Mentor. Thank you for the videos you make are great educational material.

[@paulbridgers3820]

Another great looking fly 🪰 Nick. Thanks for sharing, always looking forward for the next pattern. Stay safe on the water.

[@tobiaswasserzier4575]

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Heck yeah that’s one awesome looking water pushing beast of a fly. Would be fun to tie and fish 🎣 with.

[@zedekzgredek1278]

Great fly! Mine come out more or less tragically ... Flytying isn't for everyone. : | Could you present some river pike fly in the near future? A river with a fairly strong bollard and large pikes. Your tips always included. Kind regards!

[@CHfishing13]

Wonderful, a must try!

Love your humor - spinning gear 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was so close to swallow my cola the wrong way, and spitting it out on the flatwing in the renzetti jaws 😅😂

[@mktudor4426]

Nice video and great fly, I will give it a try, but on a smaller version ( hope you don't mind ^_^ ) at the start . I do enjoy your videos, quite inspiring and relaxing. Keep up the good work!

[@victorcarlsson2429]

That fly must be quiet heavy to cast with a 9# rod and line, very nice!

[@wolverine7878]

Hi Niklaus, i never have seen a fly like this one before. This fly will give attention to pikes for sure. Thanks for showing and always tight lines. Best wishers from Hamburg

[@Alpinexl]

Nice fly!

[@limoucheu8522]

fly interpretation of the famous miuras mouse. Great fly simply. Miuras mouse is simply a fly adapted to be cast by a casting or spinning rod, basically it is a fly (with a lot of bucktail).

[@Lext3]

Great fly ! My Grand mama #10 would love to cast that

[@oscarjimenez7310]

Badass fly and awesome video as always! I fish big pike up here in Minnesota, something like this would be good for musky as well. Be cool if I won it.

[@frippeonthefly]

As always, awsome video. Huge fly and cool concept. Never tryed a waterpushing fly. But now I just might have to 😊. Thanks Mr.Bauer 🎣🐊

[@ryandabbs7747]

I'm just getting into the pike fly fishing world and have already started to play with materials and make my own flies. Can't wait to get a proper vice and give something like this a go, keep up the great content 🤟
