Flures for Finland

The other day, I told some colleagues that I was going to Finland to fly-fish for pike. And although these city folks think of nature as something that needs to be permanently eliminated from their back yard and (only) preserved at the other side of the world, they still were able to hold against me that pike don't eat flies but fish. Well I wish you guys good luck explaining to people like that (which means to 99,99 % of the world population), that the things we want to catch our pike with are flies, period.

Confronted with that much opposition, I think it's both fair and save to come up with a name that acknowledges the somewhat separatist approach us fly fishermen tend to take, while on the other hand admitting that the things we fish with are just lures.

Enter the flure. Here's one that we plan to use in Finland:



Not just a bunch of feathers, not a real-life imitation, but an easy castable and durable EP-impression of something very fishy. Especially since herring and roach are high on the pike's wish-list over there.
