Those would work I'm sure - especially on pike. Almost anything works on pike. Those flashy profile flies and others similar are found in a book I have, Innovative Saltwater Flies. Great read. A big head, either deer hair or wool etc really sends out some vibrations and adds to the effectiveness of the fly. Larry Dahlberg has some great tips on his site, 'Hunt for Big Fish'.

I tie up some really big nasties for muskies though, some up to 14 inches long...some articulated etc. I usually only toss them (troll them) in fall on Georgian Bay. As you know, those muskies are few and far between compared to some inland waters but they are monsters. A friend of mine who has a cottage there and downrigs for salmon said a guide told him that muskies occasionally attack salmon being brought in by guys downrigging. We're talking adult salmon 12-20 pounds on average!

A lot of muskie guides use smaller flies though - 6 to 10 or 12 inches. The key is castability. For walleyes anything up to 3- 6 inches will work I'm sure, basically mimicking typical forage. I also catch walleyes on nymphs/dragon fly patterns.

Maybe I'll take a few pics and upload some of my muskie flies...
