After striking out turkey hunting with a friend this morning, I headed out fishing on the river that I live on this evening. It was a beautiful evening on the river.
A couple of the spots that I normally found fish last summer didn’t yield any fish, but a flooded area (river is still slightly high from runoff) the looked like “there should be a pike in there”, didn’t disappoint:
It was 30-31” long, one of the bigger pike I’ve gotten on a fly. It had quite a wound on it - not sure what would attack that big of a pike? There are supposedly some muskies in the river, so maybe the pike isn’t king of the river. This is small enough water that I don’t think it was a boat prop or anything like that.
I had a couple more attacks from pike through the evening and landed one 13-14” smallie, but nothing to match this one!
