Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Pike fly anglers building a first proper streamer box. You get six different patterns and three substantial hook sizes in one ready-made selection.
- Experienced predator anglers wanting a compact backup selection. Two of each fly and a clear-lid box make it easy to keep useful patterns together for mobile sessions.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers using light freshwater fly tackle. The larger 4/0 and 6/0 flies are built for pike work and can be a handful on underpowered gear.
- Anyone after tiny perch, chub or trout flies. This is a dedicated pike streamer selection, not a general coarse or small-predator box.

Quick verdict
Verdict: loads of pike-fly choice in one tidy box
The Fulling Mill Pike Streamer Selection gives you twelve big predator flies across six patterns, with useful variation in size, colour and flash. That makes it a very sensible way into pike fly fishing, or a handy top-up for an angler who doesn’t fancy tying every streamer from scratch.
The lightweight clear-lid box is dead handy on the bank, while the strong, sharp predator hooks and consultant patterns give the selection plenty of appeal. Just remember, these are proper big flies, so you’ll still need suitable fly tackle, wire or bite protection and a sensible unhooking setup.

Strong predator hooks, sharp points and a practical lightweight box give the selection a properly dependable feel.
The range of sizes and attraction levels gives you plenty of ways to match conditions and fish mood.
Natural and flashy patterns cover common pike-fly situations, though success still depends heavily on tackle, retrieve and water.

Buying twelve predator flies as a matched selection is convenient and avoids building six patterns individually.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fulling Mill Pike Streamer Selection
Pike flies can be a bit of a rabbit hole, mate. One minute you’re after a couple of streamers and the next you’ve got enough feathers, flash and bucktail to fill a carrier bag. The Fulling Mill Pike Streamer Selection keeps things a lot simpler. You get twelve ready-to-go predator flies in one tidy box, with enough pattern variety to cover more than one sort of day on the water.
The selection contains six patterns, with two of each. That’s a proper useful setup rather than twelve random flies thrown together. You’ve got Dougies Perch, Mackerel Sparkler, Tinsel Town Silver, UV Flashtail Whistler, Dougie’s Roach and Yellow FM. So there’s a mixture of baitfish-style looks, bright attractors and flash-heavy options when the water is murky or the light is rubbish.
The sizes are worth paying attention to. Dougies Perch comes in 2/0, while the other patterns are in 4/0 or 6/0. These aren’t dainty little trout flies you can waft around on a standard five-weight. They’re proper pike streamers, and you’ll want a suitably beefy fly rod, line and leader system to turn them over without making the session a complete faff.
That spread of sizes gives you a bit of control over the profile you’re showing. The 2/0 Perch flies offer a more manageable option when you want a smaller baitfish impression. The 4/0 patterns sit nicely in the middle. Then the 6/0 Mackerel Sparkler and UV Flashtail Whistler are there for a bigger mouthful and plenty of presence. Handy when a lake’s got a decent head of pike on the munch.
Pattern choice matters with pike. Some days they’ll follow a natural roach or perch pattern right into the margins. Other times, a load of silver flash or UV is what makes a fish turn and have a look. Having both ends of that scale in the same box means you can change the question you’re asking the fish instead of flogging one fly until your arm drops off.
The Dougies patterns are a nice touch too. Fulling Mill consultant Dougie Loughridge has patterns in the selection, giving the box a strong predator-fishing identity rather than making it feel like a generic assortment. Whether you’re starting out or simply want a few dependable-looking styles to rotate through, that makes the selection easy to understand.
Storage is refreshingly straightforward. The box is lightweight, has a clear lid and uses a non-rust hinge. Fulling Mill descriptions refer to either an FM Xtreme Box or a Tactical Big Fly Box, depending on the listing, but the useful bits are the same: you can see what you’ve got, the box won’t be a lump in your jacket and the flies stay together between trips.
The clear lid is especially handy when you’re moving swims. You can quickly spot the bright fly, the natural fly or the biggest profile without tipping everything onto the unhooking mat. That sounds like a small thing, but when there’s a fish showing down the margin and you’re trying to get a fly on quickly, less rummaging is always bob on.
Fulling Mill says the flies use strong, sharp predator hooks. That’s exactly what you want on pike streamers, where a blunt or lightweight hook is a bit naff. Still, check the point during a session, particularly after dragging a fly through snags or stones. Sharp hooks, bite protection and proper unhooking kit all matter just as much as the pattern.
Overall, this is a cracking fixed selection for anglers who want choice without the tying bench taking over the spare room. It won’t replace a full custom fly box, and the larger streamers demand the right gear, but it gives you a sensible spread of pike flies straight away. For mobile predator fishing, it’s a very easy box to justify.

Our take
Why this selection makes sense
The clever bit here is variety without the usual faff. You get perch, mackerel, roach, yellow and flashy attractor-style patterns, spread across six different designs. Pike don’t always want the same look, especially when light, water colour and mood change through the day.
It’s also a useful way to build confidence. Start with the more natural-looking baitfish patterns, then switch to the flashier flies if the rods are quiet or the water is coloured. You’ve got enough choice to cover a fair few situations before reaching for another box.
What you’re buying
Six patterns, twelve chances to change the game
The box contains two flies each of six patterns: Dougies Perch, Mackerel Sparkler, Tinsel Town Silver, UV Flashtail Whistler, Dougie’s Roach and Yellow FM. Sizes run from 2/0 to 6/0, giving you smaller, medium and larger streamer options for different moods and water conditions.
That mix lets you switch between a natural baitfish approach and something far louder. Start with roach or perch when the water’s clear, then reach for silver, yellow, flash or UV when visibility drops. It’s a simple way to keep the session moving instead of sticking with one look all day.
Worth knowing. The two 6/0 patterns are substantial flies. Check that your rod, fly line, leader and casting style are up to the job before you hit the bank. Big flies need controlled loops and plenty of room.
On the pike bank
A tidy option for newcomers and mobile anglers
This selection suits anyone building a pike fly box from scratch. You get enough variety to learn what works on your water, while two of each pattern means one damaged or lost fly doesn’t leave you completely scuppered.
It’s also useful for anglers who move between swims and don’t want a huge box rattling around in the bag. The clear lid makes choosing quick, and the lightweight construction keeps the load sensible when you’re walking the bank.
It’s less suited to a light tackle setup or anyone wanting small general-purpose flies. These are dedicated pike streamers, and you’ll need proper bite protection plus reliable unhooking tools to fish them responsibly.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know before buying
Yes. There are two flies from each of the six included patterns, making twelve flies overall. That’s useful insurance when pike teeth, weed and snags start taking their share.
Both. Dougies Perch and Dougie’s Roach give you baitfish-style options, while Mackerel Sparkler, Tinsel Town Silver, UV Flashtail Whistler and Yellow FM bring more flash, colour and attraction.
Worth knowing. The product description can mention an FM Xtreme Box or a Tactical Big Fly Box. If the exact storage box matters to you, check the individual listing before ordering. Either way, the key features are a lightweight build, clear lid and non-rust hinge.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- A broad mix of natural and high-attraction pike patterns.
- Two of each fly gives you a useful spare if a streamer gets chewed up or lost.
- Strong, sharp predator hooks are suited to serious pike work.
- Clear-lid box keeps the selection easy to see and grab on the bank.
- Patterns by Fulling Mill consultant Dougie Loughridge add plenty of predator-fishing credibility.
Worth knowing
- The 6/0 flies are big, so they’ll need suitably powerful fly tackle and won’t suit a light setup.
- There’s no exact colour or pattern customisation; you’re buying the fixed selection.
- A full box of large streamers takes up more room than a small handful of all-round flies.
