Fly-fishing for pike and musky is burgeoning in popularity for several reasons. Unlike trout fishing, which requires years of experience to reasonable succeed, even neophyte fly-casters can easily master taking Toothy Critters on flies. Also, to the probable amazement of plug casters, flies frequently take bigger and more pike (and even musky) than hardware, fished side-by-side. Now many Canadian camps feature fly-fishing pages on their web sites, but their advice, while well-intentioned, is often flawed, especially regarding tackle recommendations.
Toothy Critters Love Flies, is the result of the author’s over 20+ years fly-fishing for pike, musky and smallmouth bass, plus other “bonus” species available in the same waters. He spent years developing and refining techniques and flies that work for “toothy critters,” and has a different slant on the subject from many other “experts,” especially about flies.
Toothy Critters Love Flies also has chapters about “Bonus Species:” smallmouth bass, walleye, lake trout, Arctic grayling, etc. There are descriptions and tackle recommendations on how to take these fish, adding variety and excitement to any trip. Plus he includes a chapter on the IGFA and how to seek tippet-class records, for those interested. The book is geared to both new and experienced fly-fishers and could make converts of hardware-tossers, too.
I'm hosting two 2010 Fly-Fishing Seminars (Nueltin Lake, Manitoba & Reindeer Lake, Saskatchewan)
The trips are 5 and 6 days, respectively, Nueltin (Treeline Lodge) on August 24 - 28 and Reindeer on June 21 -26. Each is all inclusive w/roundtrip air from Winnipeg, lodging, all meals & daily guide service. Only added cost is you getting to Winnipeg, 1 night hotel there, and any personal expenses. Anyone attending will get a complimentry copy of my book and two of my favorite flies.
I'll be at each lodge, working with participants on techniques for taking big pike (40" fish at either place are daily occurrences, and 50+" fish are not uncommon), including some casting hints. There will also be a fly-tying bench set up, and I'll demonstrate how easy is is to tie my killer marabou streamers.
In either case, the fish will be in shallow water, with lots of sight casting. Bonus species available on flies are Arctic grayling (think 15 - 20 inch aggressive cutthroats in fast water), lake trout (depending on weather) and walleyes at Tate Island.
If you love fly-fishing for pike, or have never tried it and are intrigued, you can't go wrong with either trip. There will be limited attendence, so contact me ASAP if you're interested. You can click on the web site links for either lodge, located on the fifth (Link) page of this site. Feel free to write me at; pikeflyguy@aol.com with any questions...or to sign up!

WHO IS GEORGE BERNSTEIN?
George Bernstein, ex-president of a small publicly held appliance company, is more recently the retired owner/operator of Outdoor Safaris, one of the earliest fishing and hunting travel services.
George started fishing at the age of ten, from their summer home at PawPaw Lake, Michigan. A 12” perch fired his enthusiasm for the sport, but with no outdoorsmen in his family, everything was self-taught. By his mid-teens he was already an expert, and took his first bonefish on a flyrod…no mean feat for a kid. A true sportsman , he pursued big fish on light tackle, and was practicing “catch-and-release” by the early 1980s…well before it became popular. He also authored several articles on chasing IGFA World Records on light tackle, providing new insight on fighting techniques that are now common practices.
Fishing all over the world as research for Outdoor Safaris, he acquired eight fly-rod International Game Fish Association (IGFA) World records, including 2 for pike, 2 for Arctic grayling and 1 for smallmouth bass. He was the official fishing & hunting tour wholesaler for Lan Chile, Aerolineas Argentinas and Pan Am Airlines. Over the past 20+ years he has concentrated mainly on fly-fishing for pike, musky and smallmouth bass, plus the other Bonus Species often available in their waters. He has rubbed shoulders with baseball great and fly-fisherman supreme, Ted Williams, as well as internationally revered anglers like Leon Chandler, Lefty Kreh, and others in the fly-fishing world.
Now George has organized his life-time of experience into a definitive and easy to read book, Toothy Critter Love Flies, giving you everything you need to know to catch BIG pike (think 20 pounds and up) and musky on fancy feathers. Not a fly-fisherman? The book will show you how easily you can learn to catch this aggressive predators on flies…and how exciting that can be!
