[JZ]

Ahhhhh, my all time favorite species. here we go, i will start with top water then go down.

1. topwater patterns-dalhberg diver in white black and chartruse. deer hair poppers in black white and chartruse. mouserats. cork foam frogs. large pencil poppers. just about anything that imitates a mouse. folded foam poppers.
2. underwater patterns- any type of bunny fly, or any other leach imitation fly, preferably in black. clouser minnow. gully worm.deer hair rapalla. lefties deceiver. cray fish imitations, in chartruse. ep fiber minnows to immitate the local baitfish or young pike. and definitly some flashy flies.

Have fun

Do they look a bit similar as this lady?

These guys/ladies do we catch with streamers like these.
Made of bucktail and zonker with a little bit of sparkling hair.

can u post a pattern for that?

It's a bit difficult for me to write in a few words how this streamer is build.
In fact are these streamers quite easy to tie.
This streamer has a tail of a zonker strip (dyed rabbit skin)
some gleamy hear and bucktail.
Tying thread what we use for this large streamers is kevlar.
Here's a link of a site from a dutch guy. He's a good streamer tyer. (his site can also be read in English too)
There is on his frontpage on the left side a link flytying. And on that page there's a link "pike streamers" with tying instructions. Hopefully will this site give you this enough information.
