Catching big pike on the fly
Alan Hannah has an effective and simple writing style in describing the catching of big Irish pike on the fly. His method for catching these 'ultimate predators' is not unique. Fly fisherman have used fast sinking lines and booby flies to catch big trout since the seventies, and his fly designs are similar to others already in use in the USA and Canada. However it is the combination of the 'method' and the 'fly' that makes Alan Hannah's style so deadly. For newcomers to the sport of pike fishing I would also recommend the reading of more general literature on the subject, for whilst this little book covers the methodology and equipment required to catch pike on the fly, it assumes that the reader has an awareness of the pike's habitats, feeding habits and the effect of weather and seasonal changes. Altogether a first class read if you already fly fish for other species or catch pike with plugs and spoons. Oh-and if you were wondering, yes I have caught pike using Alan Hanna's methods and fly designs.
