Beginner Pike Fly with Saddle Tails by Niklaus Bauer

So here it is, a simple beginner’s pike fly which you can variate in different colors, sizes and if you don have the exact same materials it’s going to be fine anyway.
A beginner’s pattern has been highly asked for buy you guys on social media, so I hope you find it interesting. This pattern is simple to cast, and it catches a lot of pike, and of course other spices too. Tie up a bunch and I hope to see you out there.

Didn’t know that I wanted to watch 50 minutes but realized the great detail and am glad I did, nice video.

[@augustonthefly]

Kinda comforting to know that even a $100 bobbin squeaks. Great video as always y'all! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Fly and Well Instructed Video,

[@danielhultgren4952]

Appreciate the whole tutorial - but especially the little UV-lesson at the end. Seems so simple, but it helps to get through the steps. THX and cheerz!

[@matpako]

Can’t wait for the day you gonna publish a book with all these amazing flies 🤘😉 Gotta order some materials now... thanks Niklaus!

[@jeromeaoumeur3906]

I really like this type of fly. It opens a lot of combination of colors. Thanks to you.

[@NKlovesArchery]

I like a lot, that you gave a recommendation in line/rodsize in this video. It has been pretty hard for me as beginner, to pick the right rod for patterns and target species.

[@stephendocherty6629]

Niklaus is a total artisan, incredible tyer

[@johnjhenriksen7548]

Hands down probably one of the best fly tying tutorials I've ever seen. Awesome job!

[@wolverine7878]

This fly looks really great with the artificial material. I think large Zanders (Gös) will take this fly during night fishing also. Not only beginners will prefer a fly like this. Simple is always the best and will catch fish. Thank you Niklaus for this pattern. tight lines

[@marshallbaldwin8960]

Thank you Nicklaus for sharing this great looking fly. I’m going to play around with some color options for largemouth bass in Northern Texas.

[@frippeonthefly]

Nice fly Mr.Bauer!. I need more fluo material 😂. Keep up the good work 👍🏻 Tack och bock 🎣

[@mikebrosnan2083]

Thank you Niklaus! Lovely Fly. I’m looking forward to trying one on my home waters.

[@jeffreyhildebrand4867]

One of the best instructional videos for beginning tiers I’ve seen on KZbin. Thank you for taking the time to be clear on what you are doing in each step of fly construction. Hope to see more like this in the future.

[@FlyDressing]

Big thanks, Niklaus

[@josephlehosky6889]

Great tutorial! I will try this fly.

[@pabbyification]

[@adinatea_flyfishing-flytying]

[@toonvangucht6130]

Whoop whoop i know what to do this evening 👍

[@richardjones365]

Love your tutorial videos. You tie the best esox flies.

[@kenlyle5805]

Nice and simple

[@tomfirkins2489]

Excellent fly tying video I’m not a beginner but I still learnt little tricks of the trade. 👍

[@pescar-hoinar]

Just got myself a 9WT Pike Vision rod to try fly fishing for pike and now I need to make some flies. Dubbing, tinsel, flash, craft fur, buck tail were all so confusing and hard to figure out where to use them. I've always fished pike on spinners using either natural lures or highly flashy ones, depending on clearness of the water. I intend to keep it the same for flies. Your video helped a lot deciding what to buy to start making my first flies (one natural and one flashy). Thank you.

[@ironbambi5300]

Great fly. Perfekt for me as beginner and for my 9wt. 👍👌

[@scannerz1072]

Excellent tutorial for beginners like myself. Very informative on every step of the process as always nicklaus. I think all your videos are awesome iv learned so much from them. Resin I'll admit is a bit of a rough area for me but the end of this video has helped me a lot. Thanks again Nik and keep those videos coming.

[@davehutchison63]

Superb video, really enjoyed it. returned to freshwater fly fishing a few years back after many years in the salt. This year I've been interested more in targeting pike as they have been much more cooperative than trout in our recent HOT summers. I especially loved the topwater video, camera work was amazing😁and I'm tempted to dig out my vice etc as while I struggle now with the dexterity for small flies, I think 2/0 to 4/0 should be easier??. I look forward to more vids😁

[@stephenholland3914]

Fantastic fly's you make
