It's that time of year again

Just got an e mail from You Tube telling me that Season 8 of Fly vs. Jerks is now on with the first episode last Friday and every Friday it will come on again. Just Google "Fly vs. Jerks" and you'll see season 8's first showing, watch it. I know that fishing for pike is not something that we have access to but we sure have Musky around here and some of the flies and equipment that they use surely could be used here for them. I am amazed at the amount of technology these guys use to find fish and get to where they are going, new this year is the fact they can fish anywhere in Europe? I think that the amount of new fly gear they are using is just awesome as is the choice of flies and the material they use to tie them. It took me a while to get the wiggle tails they were using last year but I got them and  tied up a shit load of new streamer patterns for trout, the also have a sister channel call " Fly TV" that features pike and trout streamers and the methods they use to tie them, a good source to see all the new techniques people are using. They use pretty common materials when they tie, their use of buktails is extensive and the methods of how they achieve bulk is amazing, check out "reverse tie".
   The roller coaster weather is playing shit with our Winter fishing, it is coming down to if you see a good day you better just go then don't wait or the weather will take a turn for the worse. Have not seen a good amount of Olives yet but I am sure any day they will make an appearance. Think before you go, make sure there is not a lot of snow melt coming into the stream because that will put them off for a bit till the water stabilizes.
