Barry Reynolds is a professional fly fishing
guide, instructor, and author who focuses on difficult
or unusual species. His books are a must for any
fisherman's library. Barry has fished extensively
throughout the US and Canada and holds several
IGFA line-class records.
Barry's "Mastering Pike on The Fly: Strategies
and Techniques", published last year, is
an awesome book for any Pike angler. Combining
science with more than twenty years of experience
fly fishing for pike, Barry gives anglers a true
appreciation of northerns and their habitat and
a full complement of strategies, flies and tools
needed to locate and catch pike under nearly every
circumstance.

The first few chapters explain locations and
seasonal movements of pike, and the science behind
the pike's environment including feeding habits,
spawning, different lake types, etc. Many new
recipes for pike flies are included in this work.
Even better, Barry takes the time to explain how
when he uses each type of fly. Lefty Krey got
it right in the forward - "I cannot conceive
how anyone could write a better book for fly fishermen
who want to catch pike on a fly."
