Three years ago, the Flymen Fishing Company visited a remote mountain location in Northern Sweden for the first time to target pike on the fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan was to make a really cool pike film with meter-long fish slamming mice and lemming patterns on the surface. Unfortunately, that didn\u2019t happen because the water was already too warm by that time and most of the fish had moved out of the shallow coves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"So,<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, fast forward and we decided to try again later on during the first week of the open season. During spring I had developed a pattern based on the new\u00a0Surface Seducer Howitzer baitfish popper heads<\/a>\u00a0that was more of a subsurface pattern with 2 hooks, a\u00a0Fish-Skull Articulated Shank<\/a>, and a big Dragon Tail at the end. I wanted a pattern that would work\u00a0well both when fished roly poly as well as with strong pulls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The helicopter brought us out the Tjuonajokk fishing camp, located way above the Arctic Circle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The plan this time was to drive with the river boats through the rapids upstream to a big cove were the pike had spawned a few weeks before and\u00a0were still hanging around waiting for whitefish and grayling to come in and feed in these shallow areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We\u00a0took<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u00a0took turns poling the boat forward and\u00a0with only one of us fishing at a time\u00a0so our cameraman could catch every single take in slow motion. How did it turn out? See for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
