Yesterday, I finally caught my first pickeral on a flyrod ; it was little (10 inches), but fell to a bead head crystal nymph (size 10).
I've caught many bigger ones on spinning gear, but never on a flyrod. |

Way to go Bob - I do love those picks!! Must of been real fun on a 4 weight. I too have caught them on nymphs - I am always surprised by it! Tight lines, Alec

Interestingly enough, I too caught my first pickerel on a beaded nymph. We don't have chain Pickerel up here in Ontario Canada but we have an abundance of their cousins, Northern Pike. It is fascinatingto see that a big predator like a pike or pickerel will take a small flyrod nymph. By the same token I have caught aggressive speckled and rainbow trout on bass and pike-sized flies.
