Today, Ryan is going to show us how to tie the Gator Aid. The Gator Aid is a great fly to use for pike in both the spring and the fall when the fish are up in shallow water. With a combination of a whispy schlappen tail, hollow tied bucktail and a big Buford style head, this fly swims great and is bound to land some toothy fish for you. Don't build out a pike box without thinking of some of these first!

We've put together a kit that contains all the materials you need to tie this exact fly pattern.
