A pike trip has fallen in my lap here in the middle of May, and I desperately would like to have a go at them with my fly rod. I am in need of some good info quick that can help get me pointed in the right direction!

I have an array of 6 thru 8 wt rods, so I think I am good from that end of it. What I need to find out is flyline type, leader set-up and a good basic selection of flies to get started.

From my understanding we will be fishing for them in fairly shallow lake water (3-10 ft is what i am told) Not sure if a sink/sink tip is needed and what my leader length and set up should be. As far as flies, as stated I dont really have a clue other than something big and nasty!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
