VERN-O 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 very intense fly Kev!!!! I love it actually and think I have to twist some up for the fall run...... up on Ontario though a size 2 hook typically scares the daylights out of steelies in the middle of winter......thanks for sharing Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
