Whitefish - Pike Streamer

Whitefish is one of the older Pike Terror patterns and for many years was one of the bestsellers at the German ADH shop. It remains a proven choice for fly anglers and spin anglers, especially on large lakes and reservoirs where pike hunt schools of whitefish and vendace.
 
 
 
The colour scheme is inspired by the bright, silvery flanks of these fish, with subtle pink-blue reflections and an olive back. The high amount of flash gives the fly excellent visibility and makes it a pattern that can be both a first choice and a last resort when more subdued colours fail to produce.

Construction and action
The fly is built on a hand-twisted Dubbing Brush made from Nayat and Pike Terror Flash. Despite the high amount of flash, it remains light, casts well and swims steadily at different retrieve speeds without rolling onto its side or spinning around its own axis.
 
The 15 cm version works well with lighter tackle and for more cautious fish, while the 18 cm version creates a larger and more visible profile.
 
 
 
The 0.6 g weight helps get the fly deeper faster, while 0.9 g is useful when an even faster sink rate and better depth control are needed.
