| They're getting a bit bigger... |
While chasing spring rainbows in the bays and marinas of Pierre, it's inevitable that you'll eventually cross paths with the toothy northern pike that occupy the river system in abundance. Pierre (lake Oahe in particular) is knows nationally for producing some of the largest spring northerns around. While traditional fisherman utilize quick-strike rigs, treble hooks and large chubs or shiners; the right fly has a special way of enticing northerns to take a bite. While I've yet to venture up top (to Lake Oahe) for spring/summer Northerns on the fly, I hope to this year. 40"+ fish are commonplace, and I'm willing to guess they would be more than willing to try the fly. Not likely they've seen it much before. Seems to me there is going to be some unmet demand this spring. Time to get the boat ready...
