Where about did you book ??
For surface action , it's hard to beat a Dalhberg Mega Diver 8" to 12". Next on my list is a #4/0 Deerhair Rat . For working drop-offs and underwater structure , big maribou streamers , glass minnows and Decievers . Nothing fancy , the Pike don't care and after one or two fish , you won't recognize the fly anyway . Pike like eating Perch , Walleye , Suckers and Bull-head Catfish . I find with imitating them with a touch of bling and shizzle and small amounts of accent colour works all the time , morning , noon and night ...... bright day , dark day . The key is to knowing where they will be and put your fly close .
Good luck !!
Mike

For most of S. Ontario muskie season opens the first Saturday in June and pike two weeks earlier on the 2nd week of May.
Depending on the lake or river systems you will be targeting, the early season fishing seems to be better in the shallow back bays- 4 feet or less water. Big top water poppers or attractor patterns seem to do the trick.
I am looking forward to doing some muskie fishing this year as well.

marty this one is pretty simple.....couple of zonker strips a touch of flash.....I add a mono loop off the bend to keep the tail from fouling around the hook.....then wrap the other zonker up the shank a bit.....voila done.....I usually epoxy the heads for duability
