2012 fantasy pike fly challenge
This will also be a strict catch & release affair!
Rules
Players pick 4 flies for the season
12 flies to choose from (Found in the left sidebar)
6 tubes
6 hooked
6 substitute flies (3 x tubes & 3 x hooked)
5 flies will be tied for each specific fly design, and will be used through out the season. Once each fly becomes unusable to fish with, it will be replaced with a new one until all five are finished. Flies will be regularily photographed to show their condition throughout the Fantasy league challenge.
Points tally
Points will be tallied up at the end of each week and added to the league table in the sidebar so players can see where they are standing
1 point will be given for each fish caught
2 extra points will be awarded for a fish over 75cm (2,46 ft)
4 extra points will be awarded for a fish over 85cm (2,78 ft)
6 extra points will be awarded for a fish over 1 meter (3,28 ft)
I will alternate between using tube flies one days and hooked flies the next and each fly will be changed after each fish caught which will even out the playing field so to say!
Substitutions
1. Substitutions will be submitted as and when I feel the need
to change the playing field. for example certain flies will perform better during different times of the year.
2. 3 x substitutions will take place throughout the course of
the season.
3. Each player gets to choose one tube and one hooked fly
they would like to change. The flies that get the most vote
for that specific substitution period get used!
Play offs!
1. On the 30th September all the points will be tallied up and
the top 10 players will go into the October play offs which
will end on the 31st October.
2. All the flies will be brought back into play for each of the
ten players.
3. Players can then choose to either keep the
ones they have or change to other models during the play
offs.
All entrants need to be submitted by the latest 15th May.

Every pike fly fisherman in the northern hemisphere should have this Red/Back colour combo'd synthetic baitfish pattern in his box. Probably one of the most effective colour schemes in low light conditions, and I'll be fishing a lot during dusk & dawn,so I'd be stupid not to include it in my choice of 12. I'd also class this as an all season fly so you can count on it not getting substituted either.....the down side to choosing this fly is "will it last the distance?" Again another baitfish pattern that will be fished on a tube.
Blue/white or Turquoise/white is probably one of the most effective Spring colours here around the island. Also decided to have this Raccoon bunny colour combination tied onto a tube, as I can have extended hook retaining tubes for the post spawn period when pike generally will lunge at your fly directly from the rear. Then shortening the hook retaining tube after spawning. Not a good summer colour but has been a consistant autumn colour for pike.
