Tandem flies are excellent. Good job Ian.

Nope!
It will catch when a pike sees the thing

Great looking fly Ian.

Just a thought, have you ever tried using over sized versions of trout flies for pike? Recently in loch Garve I caught 4 jack pike on normal trout flies; two on a red hackled soldier palmer, one on a blue zulu and one on a bibio, all size 10.
Anyways, I'm just in the middle of tieing some size 2 versions of similar looking designs on streamer hooks. I'll let you know how I get on with them!

They would certainly work Santiago,I mean butcher,crow and silver and Alexandra are fry imitations.Bigger versions for pike? Why not.

How did the streamers turn out?

I've caught quite a few on the streamers I made, even I over did the epoxy heads.
