First of all, the original Mustad hook Lee used for all of his Wulff’s has been recently discontinued. The Daiichi 2421, however, is a good substitute. Most of the Wulff’s tied by Dave for my fly shop fall into …

Dick Recchia from the UltimateFlyFishing.com staff recently wrote a short article about his experiences while fishing for Northern Pike at the Minipi Lodge. They were having a slow day, and decided to “huck” some big bugs for Pike. Check out the full story at the Ultimate Fly Fishing website.
