pike on the fly in lapland

[corsican dave]

maybe for the cognoscenti only at 30-odd mins, but some great footage, good tackle tips and some fairly typical pike behaviour. how many times have I  had those follows....?  : there's a couple of links to great fly patterns, too

I liked the giant sedgehogs with the foot and a half of duct tape hanging off the back.

Check out 05:54 - he's using a rod clip to hold the rod while he deals with the fish - pretty cool item that; I've not seen that before...

I can't view the video at present, but is it one of the smith creek ones?

I got one a couple of years back. works fine, but I finally gave up with it as just another dangly thing I can do without.

Watched that in bed last night Dave, great stuff and what a place!

[corsican dave]

the quality of the videos from these guys is exceptional. yep, it's the smith creek rod holder; very nicely made bit of kit

[corsican dave]

The sight of Grayling swimming naturally in these water shots was mind expanding - I never realized quite how much they used their main dorsal fin..

Yes the rod holder was pretty useful for that situation.. trying to assess whether I would benefit from one too; I always put the rod on the ground but this might be a better option...

E.

would you like to try it out, Tony? could ping it in the post to you

I thought folk in videos parked their rods across behind their heads ... it's the selfie rod rest
