Tying the Gin & Tonic Pike Fly

[@mariejulien6596]

You re definitely my reference about tying pike flies. Inspiring ressources. Thx mr Paul.

[@mattfleming86]

You are an amazing tyer, and a great inspiration for my bench. The free license Pink Floyd music and the random table cat were icing on the already perfect cake 😁

[@paul_monaghan]

The cat is still around and as bad tempered as ever

[@OUTDOORSSWEDEN]

Awsome fly!

[@kevinrosenfeldtwoodworking4888]

[@FT4Freedom]

Beautiful

This is such a nice fly. I am just wondering....... could you do "a segment" where you take some of these pike/roach etc flies and scale them "down to trout sizes"????

[@paul_monaghan]

This is a very old video. I tend not to tie articulated flies too often these days for pike (take too long) . Many of the American trout streamers are tied this way with two hooks. Double Deceiver is a good example of this type of pattern scaled down.

Great music on this one! Great tie too! Can you sub Icelandic sheep hair for the Nayat in this pattern?

[@pawelboguta91]

Very, Very Beauty!!!!!

Thanks Martyn.

Class:)

[@natehorowitz7612]

Awesome fly and video, thanks for sharing! But why do you use a shank instead of a hook on the back

[@paul_monaghan]

My personal preference is to use one hook for pike where I can. However I don't always and not had a problem using two other than the back hook snagging the front every now and again. It's up to the tyer

Крутой стримерок однозначно.

[@OddBall1958]

Thanks for another great lesson! What size beads are you using?

[@paul_monaghan]

No probs...typically 5mm

[@OddBall1958]

@@paul_monaghan Thanks and keep up the great work. Always looking forward to a new Pike Fly.

[@Easternfly]

All of your videos are great. What size beads do you use?

[@paul_monaghan]

Thanks...doesn't really matter but those are 4mm

[@Easternfly]

Thanks

[@vtbassin]

Just found your vids. With the pike near me starting to move around this was the inspiration I needed! What is the glue you used for the eyes?

[@paul_monaghan]

Max Hogg Hi Max, I'm allergic to most glues, but there are a few good toxic free ones out there. This is Evostik Serious Glue, which is both strong and flexible.

[@jointedbus]

Do u sell these fly? would love to have 2 in the box.

[@Lauiauia]

What is that long green flash?

[@paul_monaghan]

Full material list in the description. Mix of Hedron and Funky flash. You can sub Funky with Hedron Polar like I do now

[@Lauiauia]

@@paul_monaghan thanks!

[@lukehaubrick]

What can I substitute for nyate?

[@paul_monaghan]

For natural material try Icelandic Sheep. For synthetics try SF Blend or Jerkbaitmania Pike Skinz
