It's big water, but you could stay in the bay at Hell creek and try it. I have a 17' lund, but I don't think I would go out with less than 16'. I have always wanted to give that a shot, but just never have. The other place that might be good is Tongue reservoir. At one time the state record pike came from there.John
I just got an 8 wt for peck! stripping streamers for pike and smallies!
I know u asked about peck but, Tiber would be another good bet for stripping streamers in the shallows might slap a couple Shwallys as well.
We take drift boats and fly fish in Hell Creek. Right at ice out the pike are in very shallow water at the head of the bay.
Werger, do you have much success? What size rod do you use?
I plan on trying this at ice off. Grizzlyhackle, where are you moving?
Four corners area for a couple months then looking to buy a place around Manhattan/Amsterdam Thanks again for all of the responses and input! Trev
Good for you grizzlyhackle !! The Bozeman area offers great opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Good luck to ya & enjoy Montana !!
Yep those should do the trick. Try something white and red like those as well. they like those 2 colors a lot lot lot lot.
You may also try tying in some stingers for the ones that slash at it short.
Looks great G.H.
Glad to see there are some fly fisherman on this forum! I'm a fly nut! One of my favorite things to do is go to tongue river or Healey after ice out and throw big streamers with the 8wt. nothing cooler than moving big fish with big flies!
Boom. All u gotta do now is slap those sexy patterns I front of some big waterwolves n hang on.
Do you think the eyes help? or are they just for looks? I know they are weighted but if I wanted to tie some flies could I just use some weight like I do for my trout flies?Just curious...John
Those look great. They will get ripped up like any pike flies, but fish them until they are totally trashed. "Used" flies seem to be the best ones on pike.I am still trapping but but hope to get there in April yet.
