Lately while carp fishing my local creek I have been seeing quite a few pike laying on the bottom. They are very spooky, but they will strike if I can get a cast to them before they see me. Last night I caught my first one ever, a small one, on my 3 wt with a small white streamer.
Today I went back with my 6wt hoping to get a carp or a larger pike. I made a cast to a carp with a black wooly bugger and the nearby log became a pike and started to follow. It followed halfway across the creek before it inhaled the bugger. Pike sure are crazy fighters. I'd say this one was around 26 inches.
