Fly Tying Video: Bise's Buck Tail Pike/Musky Fly

This is a pike and musky fly that I have been working on this spring, with good results. The idea behind the fly is to have a high contrast fly that pushes a decent amount of water while still being castable. With a double hook, weighted head, and articulation the fly swims well. It is designed to trigger strikes via both visual and lateral line stimulation. It can be tied in red/white, black/white, chartreuse/white, or really any color combo you want. Fish this on a sinking line along weed beds and drop offs. It can be fished on a floating line as well with a longer leader for presentations in the top three feet of the water column.
