Pike season is upon us. As trout season ends in many parts of the world, many anglers turn to these toothy critters. Our catalogs differ considerably when it comes to pike offerings between the US and the Rest of World, so we created two lists. To see the top 5 pike flies available outside of the US, scroll below.
USA
Clydesdale Perch
Many bodies of water with pike are also home to perch. Because these are designed by big pike expert Paul Clydesdale, they are a must-have for accurately imitating this forage.

The Roamer
This is an excellent attractor streamer designed by Jake Villwok to push water and hold profile. While it was originally intended for smallies, it’s a pike machine as well.
The Swinging D
Designed by Mike Schultz, this is the ultimate hover pattern. Because the foam head pushes tons of water, and the light material body on the body is irresistible on a slow retrieve.
Joe’s Electric Grape Muskie Leech
A great color choice in bright sunlight or stained water. Fishes best behind an intermediate or sinking line with quick, aggressive retrieve. . Designed by an Esox whisperer, Joe Goodspeed, this is sure to motivate the larger pike you come across.
Man Bear Pig
Designed for pike, this attractor streamer has a lot of triggers. When more subtle patterns aren’t getting it done, look no further!
Rest Of World
Clydesdale Perch
Many bodies of water with pike are also home to perch. Because these are designed by big pike expert Paul Clydesdale, they are a must-have for accurately imitating this forage.
Black ‘n Gold Streamer
This pike streamer is a true killer, in clear and in muddy waters. Designed by Steffen Schulz, it attracts pike in rivers and lakes all over Europe.
Pike Bunny
A big, solid, strong fly with super lifelike movement which is guaranteed to tempt the biggest strongest fish out of their lair.
Dougie’s Roach
Roach are a huge source of food for many pike. As a result, this is a must-have in your pike box.
Pike Tube
Tube flies are excellent because they can have long bodies without too much material density. As a result, they cast well for their size. In addition, they make it easy for changing out hooks any time one becomes dull.
