Summer pike on the fly. Fish early (first light) and late (last hour) when pike push shallow to feed. Topwater is king — poppers and gurglers over weed beds. Mid-day fish hold deep in weed channels. Take a break during the heat of the day. Use a 9-10wt rod with a stiff butt for turning big fish away from weed.
If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

A good match for Munroe Lake — most conditions are close to what it fishes best in.
Munroe Lake is a remote far-north Manitoba fly-in venue marketed for big northern pike plus Arctic grayling and lake trout — a strong candidate for the angler who wants pike on the fly with a grayling chaser. Untouched Shield wilderness with weedy bays and connected grayling water.
Remote northern lake — big pike in the weedy bays, lake trout over structure, grayling in connected water.
Wading: Remote fly in lake, weather — boat/lodge fishery
