My fishing partner caught a nice Northern last spring. I have the bug to get one on a fly. What size and patterns work for pike at Yuba?
I need some suggestions, thanks.

I've never fished Yuba, but I would imagine something like this would work. I'm going to give it a try on the tiger musky at Newton this spring. I'll let you know if they eat it.[inline "perch fly small.JPG"]

With the size of the chompers those guys have, I cant imagine that anything is too big. I watched a video posted here last fall of a muskie eating a 14" bass that someone had almost boated.
I would go as big as your fly rod can handle, if it were me.

Thank you for the pic of your pattern. Looks like a great perch pattern. I will try and replicate the fly in a 1/0.
