I don't pike fly fish any more David but I was a big fan of popper flies which have caught a number of pike when everything else failed. I liked using feathers whenever I could because I found the movement in the water to be fantastic but I don't think you will easily buy any as most bought flies are using fibre to create shape and volume and of course they work, just not my own cup of tea.

Deerphil is the man to ask more on this subject as he is a master of this craft.
