These flies draw big pike in that's for sure. They can be fished with confidence on all waters at any time of the year. The best retrieve with this pattern is a slow figure of eight or roly-poly. If it's big pike you are looking for these are a must-have. Tied on the reliable Tiemco 600SP hook.

Fulling Mill Mousey McMouse Face
Clark "Cheech" Pierce put in some serious man hours behind his vise when developing this fly.

Lure a Pike, Perch or large Trout with Predator Flies from Fin & Game
Predator flies are a type of fly fishing lure specifically designed to target predatory fish species like pike, perch, and trout. They are tied using strong hooks and durable materials to withstand the powerful takes and fights of these fish. Predator flies come in various shapes, sizes, and colours to imitate the bait fish that these predators typically feed on. Some popular predator fly patterns include:
- Sparkler flies: These brightly coloured flies with flashy materials are designed to attract attention and irritate predators.
- Bunny flies: These flies use rabbit fur to create a lifelike imitation of a small mammal struggling in the water.
- Clouser Deep Minnows: These flies are weighted to sink down to deeper depths where predators may be lurking.
- Streamer flies: These long, slender flies imitate pin fry, juvenile fish or minnows.
The Challenge of Predator Fly Fishing
Fly fishing for predators offers a unique challenge and a thrilling reward. Predator fly fishing requires anglers to cast flies that may not look exactly like natural prey. The success lies in the lifelike action of the fly in the water and the angler’s ability to mimic the movements of prey that trigger an aggressive response from big fish.
