Pike Prep and a Good Read

Been' preparing to get on the pike as they move up to spawn in the shallow wetlands of the CT river- tying flies and hunting for locations using maps. Soon I'll be out casting to those big old water wolves with my stoutest rod. I'm getting excited thinking about it....

Those flies are on top of the Armchair Angler, a great compilation of fishing writings by the likes of Ray Bergman and Ernest Hemingway. I highly recommend it. There is plenty of material there to dig through during winters like the one we here in CT have just left behind.
