Summary: A must for all pike fisherman
Review: As an oudoor writer myself and the host of both radio and television shows I am always looking for material to recomend.
This book not only covers fly-fishing for pike, but gets to the core of pike behavior. Barry does an excellent job of explaining what pike are doing when and why. He covers water temperture, seasonal movement, the influence of structure, cover, baitfish and other predators. I truly believe this book will make you a better all around angler.

Summary: A Must Read for Any Pike Angler
Review: This is such an awesome book for ANY pike angler. The first few chapters explain locations and seasonal movements of pike, and the science behind the pike's environment including feeding habits, spawning, different lake types, etc. The "Presentations for Pike on the Fly" chapter is really where the fly-fishing aspect takes over (Ch 5). Many new recipies for pike flies, over 20 in total. The great thing about this book is that Barry explains how he uses each type of fly and when to use specific types of flies. If you haven't read his first book, "Pike on the Fly," read that one first and then get this book. "Mastering Pike on the Fly" is a 10-year refinement of the tactics explained in "Pike on the Fly." Barry Reynolds knows his stuff well!!
