Fly Fishing for Pike:"Hammer Handles"
Ken Marsh gives advice on fishing one of Alaska’s numerous lakes for pike, which have made home of many traditional trout waters. “To catch pike Monday I cast an 8-weight fly rod with floating line, 10 inches of steel leader and some brightly-colored streamers tied on No. 3/0 galvanized hooks.
