Blue, fluorescent yellow and white - we wouldn't go pike fishing without these. The budgerigar's colours are a combination familiar to many from the Marabou Deceivers made famous by the "Heittokalastajan Hauki" bible twenty years ago and have long been our favourite. Here, the colours are dressed in a more modern, hollow-style bucktail fly topped with a schlappen tail. This would be an easy choice if you had to go after pike with one fly!
