The trick was to slow down my retrieve. for weeks i had been alternating between fast and super fast strips; thinking that i would get a BG type hit. i re read pike fly fishing articles and found that the experts recommend a slow retrieve and an easy hook set sometimes. so when the pike took the fly, i was surprised that the take was very soft. the line simply stopped moving and got tight. the line began to move to the right then the left before he charged off in the direction of NYC!
