Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Fly anglers building a pike box. You get a useful starting spread without having to pick every pattern individually.
- Anglers fishing mixed or changing conditions. Natural, silver, yellow, UV and flash-heavy flies let you switch the look when the water or light changes.
Maybe skip if
- Someone after one very specific local pattern. This is a varied selection, so some flies may see less water if your venue has a strong preference.
- Beginners needing a complete pike outfit. You’ll still need the appropriate fly rod, line, wire trace or bite tippet and landing gear.

Quick verdict
A proper handy pike-fly starter box
This is a nicely judged selection for the fly angler who wants a spread of pike patterns without faffing around buying six separate pairs. You get big, sharp-hooked flies in a useful mix of perch, roach, mackerel, silver and high-visibility styles.
The lightweight Xtreme Box keeps everything together and the non-rust hinge is a dead handy touch around wet tackle. It’s not a specialist box for one exact water or fly size, but as an all-round pike selection, it looks bob on.

Strong, sharp predator hooks and a practical Xtreme Box give the pack a reassuring, purpose-built feel.
The mix of sizes, flash levels and preyfish styles should cover plenty of common pike-fly situations.
Having natural and high-visibility options makes it easier to respond when pike change mood or conditions shift.
Two of each pattern in one lightweight box keeps selection and session prep refreshingly straightforward.
A dozen flies across six patterns offers good breadth, especially for anglers building a predator box from scratch.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fulling Mill Pike Fly Selection
Pike flies are brilliant bits of kit when you want to cover water quickly, but building a decent box can become a proper faff. One perch pattern here, a flashier job there, then you’re suddenly buying half a dozen packets before you’ve even had a cast. The Fulling Mill Pike Fly Selection keeps things a lot simpler, bundling 12 predator flies into one tidy package.
You get two of each of six patterns, which is a sensible way to do it. Pike are not exactly known for being gentle with flies, and snags, teeth and enthusiastic takes can all claim a favourite. Having a spare of each style means you’re not gutted when the one that’s drawing follows suddenly disappears.
The range itself is nicely mixed. Dougies Perch and Dougie’s Roach give you more natural preyfish looks, while Tinsel Town Silver and Mackerel Sparkler bring plenty of flash. UV Flashtail Whistler adds another loud option, and Yellow FM gives you a bright, easy-to-track colour when the water’s dark or murky.
That variety matters on the bank. Pike can be proper awkward. One day they’ll follow a subtle roach-style fly right to the net, and the next they’ll ignore it while piling into something bright and flashy. With this box, you can start natural, then move towards more aggressive colours and movement if the fish are sulking.
The sizes are useful, too. The selection runs from 2/0 through to 6/0, so it isn’t just a box of identical-sized streamers. The smaller Dougies Perch can make sense when you want a more manageable profile, while the 6/0 flies offer a bigger mouthful when pike are on larger prey or you simply need more presence.
There’s a bit of common sense needed with the larger patterns. A 6/0 pike fly is not something to lob about with lightweight trout gear, especially if it’s wet and carrying plenty of water. Match the fly to a suitable predator rod and line, and give yourself room behind and in front before you start launching it.
Storage is covered by the Fulling Mill Xtreme Box. It has a lightweight construction, which is welcome when your pike bag already contains a fly wallet, leaders, forceps, net and enough spare bits to open a small tackle shop. The non-rust hinge is another good touch for damp sessions and wet hands.
The flies use strong, sharp predator hooks, which is exactly the sort of hardware you want when a pike comes in hot and tries to turn the whole encounter into bosh. As ever, keep those points away from fingers, clothing and net mesh, and check them if a fly has clattered into rocks or a snag.
Patterns designed by Fulling Mill consultant Dougie Loughridge add a bit of predator know-how to the mix, but the real appeal is practical: this is an easy way to put a broad pike fly selection in the box before bite-time starts. It suits anglers who want options, spares and less faff, rather than a single-purpose pattern pack.

Our take
Six patterns, one box, plenty of options
The smart bit here is the range. You’ve got natural preyfish suggestions, bright attractor patterns and a few proper flash merchants, so you can change the look when the pike switch moods.
The sizes run from 2/0 up to 6/0, giving you options for different fly rods, conditions and fishy situations. Just make sure your leader, knots and tackle are up to the job before chucking these at a hungry Esox.
What’s in the box
A dozen flies with a decent spread of looks
The pack contains 12 pike flies: two Dougies Perch, two Mackerel Sparkler, two Tinsel Town Silver, two UV Flashtail Whistler, two Dougie’s Roach and two Yellow FM. That gives you six different looks, from perch and roach-style patterns to bright yellow, silver and UV-heavy options.
The sizes are mixed sensibly. Dougies Perch is size 2/0, Tinsel Town Silver, Dougie’s Roach and Yellow FM are 4/0, while Mackerel Sparkler and UV Flashtail Whistler are 6/0. It’s a useful spread, but remember the larger flies want suitable predator tackle and a confident casting stroke.
Everything comes in a Fulling Mill Xtreme Box. The box is lightweight and has a non-rust hinge, so it should be easy to carry and less worrying when the session gets wet. Strong, sharp predator hooks finish off the practical side of the package.
Worth knowing. Pike flies need a bite-resistant connection. Pair these with suitable wire or dedicated pike bite tippet, plus tackle that can handle casting and controlling a pike safely. A sharp hook is only useful if the rest of the setup is up to scratch.
On the bank
A flexible choice for changing pike moods
This selection makes plenty of sense for anglers starting a pike fly box. You can fish natural-looking patterns in clearer water or brighter conditions, then swap to yellow, UV or flash when visibility drops or the pike need a bit of encouragement. It’s a handy spread for canals, lakes and stillwaters where prey and light levels change.
The two-of-each format is also useful for regular pike anglers. You’ve got a reserve if one gets lost in the reeds, caught in a branch or chewed during a lively session. Keep the patterns separated in the box, and give the hooks a quick check before each outing.
It’s less suited to someone who only wants one exact size or colour for a specialist approach. You’re buying variety here, not a dozen copies of your confidence fly. That’s the whole point, but it does mean a few patterns may spend more time in the box than on the leader.
Quick answers
The useful bits before you tie one on
Does the pack include two of every pattern? Yes. Each of the six listed patterns is supplied twice, making 12 flies overall. That’s a decent balance between variety and having a spare of the style that gets the pike interested.
Are the flies all the same size? No. The selection runs from 2/0 to 6/0. The pattern sizes are listed clearly, so you can choose a smaller or larger profile rather than relying on one standard size all day.
Is this everything needed for pike fly fishing? Not quite. The pack gives you the flies and storage, but you’ll need a suitable rod and line, plus a secure bite-resistant leader or trace. Add a decent unhooking mat, long forceps and a sensible landing net for the full setup.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Good spread of natural, bright and flashy pike patterns.
- Two of every fly means you’ve got a spare if one gets chewed, snagged or lost.
- Includes sizes from 2/0 to 6/0 for varied pike-fly work.
- Tidy Xtreme Box with a non-rust hinge.
- Strong, sharp predator hooks are exactly what you want on pike flies.
Worth knowing
- The mix may be broader than you need if you already know your local pike only want one style or size.
- There’s no mention of a leader, wire trace or fly line, so this is flies and storage rather than a complete pike setup.
- The larger 6/0 patterns will need suitable tackle and a bit of room to cast safely.
