Fly Fishing for Pike | Housatonic River, Massachusetts | S19 E12

In mid-December, On The Water ventured out to Western Massachusetts to target Northern Pike on the Fly with Dan and Tom Harrison of Harrison Anglers.
Although northern pike are not as widespread in New England as other freshwater species, the Harrison brothers have found an abundant Northern Pike fishery on the Housatonic River that offers the chance at a true trophy-sized fish.

Only pike I ever caught were at Telequana Lake in Alaska. I caught so many in 1 day it was ridiculous. I did hook a pike at the Oxbow in Northampton once but is was over as soon as it begun since I didn't have a wire leader. 🦈

If there's one fish I could only fish for the rest of my life it would definitely be the good Ol Pike 👍🏻

Great video guys.

In the state of NJ, Pike are stocked in the Passic river. For me that is closer than western mass. "The Great Lakes of NYC"

I just met Dan on Facebook and I'm really hoping some of that passion he has rubs off on me! That really looks like an amazing trip!!

I remember catching pike as a kid by just tying some mini to the back of a canoe with a bare hook and just paddling around the lake. They’ll bite anything.

Let the guy fish man!! Do this do that no stop now go! 🤦‍♂️

I'm with you, couldnt imagine paying someone to be that directive while I fish. Then again I find Chris to have some googan tendencies. Despite all his time on a fly rod, it always looks like his first time.

Wouldnt eat it out of the Housatonic. Lots of PCBs still around.
