Last September, one year before I am to be wed to one of the
most aggressive predator fishing women ever born, we decided to head out to a
local river that has become a Pike hot spot in recent years.  Emm loves pike, more than gar and I am the
same.   Best part about small river pike
is the top water fishing.  Since this
river is so jammed packed with pike, a thirty incher is the giant in this
place.  But the first thing I noticed
when throwing four inch streamers in a ten foot wide river was how much It felt
like I was fishing for baby tarpon.  You
stop worrying about size and just throw. 
We used four through six weight rods, with flies as small as a size 2
wolly bugger and as large as my forearm. 
Most fish where about twenty two inches long, one thirty incher made its
way in.  I can wait for spring, an article
about how I did it to follow.
