       Does anyone fly fish for pike and muskie? What type of flies do you use? Rod and line size? Do you have any pictures of the flies and the size?

     Thanks.

    Fish I have, I use the same set-up I use on Salmon it's a 7 wt Rod with 7wt forward floating line. Flys are nothing but oversized Bass flys (Streamers). If someone ever comes up with some Turkey Maribou I could be talked into tieing ya a couple.> Lou

    i just got a 9 wieght fly rod for this very purpose
    you may want to get a floating line and a sink tip or sinking line  depending on how deep you want to fish. but i highly recommend  a shooting head  or weight forward line

    a lot of your saltwater patterns  will work

    clousers , deceivers,  bunkers  bunny flies 

    see links for example .http://www.riverbum.com/Pike-Musky-Flies/
