Comment to Hook Reference

Excellent hook reference, Thank you. I noticed that you do not have a photo of the Sealey 1762B or 1714B . I will be happy to send you the 1762B 2/0 - 10XL or 1714B 3/0 6XL if you would like.

Comment to Hook Reference

I would take a sample or 2 of the 1714B 3/0 6XL. I've got a nice range of the 1762B to post, as well as the 1797J and another shorter 4xl model. Thanks David

Sea-trout (Sea run browns) flies and I like your collection very much. [/b:3913fcf04d]

Iam looking forward

Iam looking forward to tying some of these flies as the Overtaker really looks the part, Iam a big fan of the FITS extra small turbo disc as it gives small tubed salmon flies a fantatic finish and they fish beautifully.A soft haclkle behind these little discs is a must.

Betty,

Shown NOTHING! Nonsense! What did you expect from a web site dealing with fishing on a page called fishing the Muddler Minnow? A biological treatise?

Don't expect the phone to ring anytime soon. This isn't an information call center. Try searching the web yourself. A resource such as FishBase. Lots of info on muddlers to be found there! Even pictures!

I used some greenwel

I used some greenwell glory patterns basically a trout spider pattern in the surf in Northern Natal South Africa - I never thought they would work given its predominatly a freshwater pattern - I cast back into the swell from behind the surf and had very many fish. I'm definitely a spider convert.

Well! Now I know wha

Well! Now I know what you look like any way.....nice fish!

What if you got someone /or yourself tie a set of Grey Ghosts or similar on these . Would make for a good group for someone to buy for the cause

Comment to Allcock W212 Streamer Hook.

That's a great idea Bob, but i don't think "these" hooks would be the best for a Grey Ghost. I do have some #6 Allcock 1810 or some #2 Willis hooks that might be a candidate for something of the likes.

I have been shown NO

Captain Rose,

Here in Idaho where I fish for carp one not be able to see carp to catch them. However signs of feeding carp are necessary, here, particularly bubbles as a fish roots on the bottom, and occasionally muds or both. We use a small foam indicator with a fly underneath the depth of the water, a hook up design or a favorite of mine, a large egg pattern. The bubbles will stop and resume, indicating the path of the fish. If you have the depth correctly figured out this method just works, very well. When that indicator dives things get exciting. Another method I use but few of my crowd do as it can be slow, is to drag a hook up design over a clean bottom on a full sink line. This does work, inch the fly back ever so slowly and really try to feel the take, than slip strike. This method I use especially for very early carp in some local ponds in March, when they rarely show themselves other than by their leaping. Other wise I agree with everything in this finne article!

This is interesting

This is interesting as this is probably one of the better hooks i have purchased an have limited stock of my own remaining.
I cannot find any more of the model i use in Australia - the fine wire worm hook with x2barbs on the shank close to the eye
Are these still available and manufactured and were can i order them from

Excellent video!

Martin,

Thank you

Martin,

Thank you for the reply. I will indeed continue to peruse your site. Since I am the one and only with such a problem I'll try to contact my server as they may be the source of this angst.

Again, thanks! Gregg
