Good addition to my fly tying box,
April 8, 2013
By: Malky62
from Dundee Scotland
"I have been looking at various dry fly hooks, but this is definitely in my opinion is the "ultimate" dry fly hook. I tied up two file differing styles one a "sighter" size 14 using the shape of the hook to take a post, and a size 16 to tie a winged version and the shape of the hook to take the wing, fly sits low in the water. If your a dry fly fisher this is your hook, nice shape"
