Very nice instructive video, thanks! I was wondering what the weight is once it’s wet. Is it possible to cast with a spinning rod? I hope I don’t offend any fly fisherman with this question😄
My guy, this popper is a must have for me here in Canada. I've searched the web to purchase already made with no avail. I've also found your pike fly start up kit to make my own butnyou seem to be sold out. Can you help me out in any way please. Your top water mama video in the attic is priceless!! I need to get me some pikes with that lure.
Pop-Stradamus Definitely tying this fly in a black/brown for some Winefred, AB, CAN 127cm monsters I've seen eating muskrats. I like the rollie pollie action! It looks very similar to a muskrat swimming on the surface.
Hi Nicholas, great fly, great film.....given you use titanium wire for stingers and other hook rigs (55lb?) why not use titanium here for the front hook loop? Does it really snap? Is it the fatigue of the flexing of the shank? I use the knot2kinky stuff....and it seems pretty robust?
Love this fly . I'll tie up several in this color and several black and purple and maybe a couple of white and silver . I will call mine the pikeinator !!
Hey Niklaus. Just a question. Can we post pics of the flies we tied after seeing your tutorials. Would be great to see what people come up with after your GREAT lessons :)
Hey love your videos was just wondering what reel and line set up would you recommend I was given a scienrra pike fly rod as a present and I'm a bit confused on what reel and line to buy thanks
Why should I use the shank between stinger hook and the main hook? Is it only to make the fly longer or did it has any more funktion? Think to tie this fly but skip the shank part (dont have any at home). :) The name: Howinator :)
Mikael Ekroth Shank adds additional articulation..makes it a 3 piece vs 2. You can probably still tie without shank but wont be as long or have as much movement
Great tying and superb video, especially at midnight. A few name suggestions could be - Midnight Esox Dragon Esox popping dragon Popping Pike Candy PMD - Pop the Magic Dragon 😂 The Esox Dragon Thanks for sharing and have a great 2019 season 😁👍☘️
Thanks, Niklaus. Just wondering about the 9 foot rod .... do you find that a 10 foot rod gives you any advantage over a 9 foot one for throwing bigger pike flies?
Not sure about the pike specie is in your latitude, but my name would be “TIGERPop” Basic on the following... The tiger muskellunge (Esox masquinongy × lucius or Esox lucius × masquinongy), commonly called tiger muskie, is a carnivorous fish, and is the usually-sterile, hybrid offspring of the true muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) and the northern pike (Esox lucius). It lives in fresh water and its range extends to Canada, the Northeast, and the Midwest United States. It grows quickly; in one study, tiger muskie grew 1.5 times as fast as muskellunge... Great patterns, wonder if you guys try to develop same fly pattern on a tube? Thank you. Best Mag
Chained Howitzer.... Or Topwater missile And if I am gonna win this competition. I'm gonna make a versus story to my Instagram next spring. My diver vs Nicklaus Bauers Popper. :D

Ive seen you tie the tails using both buck tail and craft fur. How do you determine which to use?

Hey brother, where in Montana is your favorite pike fishing? Fort Peck??
Love this fly . I'll tie up several in this color and several black and purple and maybe a couple of white and silver . I will call mine the pikeinator !!
hello, i would like to ask what the lifespan of streams is. How many instructions will last. How many pike destroyed is?
Thanks for all the info Niklaus. I've been learning a lot from you, and it all works. I got a 36" on the "baltic herring" from an old video.
Hey Niklaus. Just a question. Can we post pics of the flies we tied after seeing your tutorials. Would be great to see what people come up with after your GREAT lessons :)
Super video and great tying...👍🤘
What weight rod are you casting these with?? Also what’s your leader/tippet set up to turn these over? Great video, thanks!!
