some more flies, Tandem hooks in some flies
I am sure some of them will work on our barbels
It always amazes me the size of Pike flies. HUMUNGUS.
I encountered these on a recent trip. Have a look at the R20 note for size
some of the flies are 30cm in length

a bit of useless info
Pike in Dutch is Snoek.
it is a fish with lots of teeth.
So when the Dutch arrived here in the 1650's they caught "our snoek" which also had big teeth. and the two looked a little like each other.
So they named it Snoek.
The same applies to the Snook they catch on the East Coast of America and the Baramundi Snook in Australia.

American snook and Baramundi snook looks a bit like the European pike with the big mouth and shape
