Norbert Renaud<\/a> one of the big names in\u00a0European Pike Fly Fishing world<\/em>\u00a0went to Alaska. He told us the story of this amazing week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nearly 3 years preparing for this trip, hours on the internet trying to find as much as we could about this cult pike fishery for any addicted esox fishermen.<\/p>\n

This place is huge,you could very easily spend weeks without catching a fish,thanks to the quality of the guiding who put us on the big fish day after day (Innoko pikes move a lot,40 to 70 miles a days!)<\/p>\n

Sight fishing for pike is amazing, especially when three monsters follow your fly and the smallest is about 43 inches!<\/p>\n

Theses pikes are so strong, we came back home bruised,sore wrists,sore arms but with memories to last over a lifetime\u2026.No worries as we will certainly go back up there.<\/p>\n

Fourth day was the best, with 87 pikes caught for me and my friend, and over 30 of them measuring over the magic 100cm mark.<\/p>\n

Biggest of the trip was 50 inches.<\/p>\n
