I like that emerger Tom, what hook is that?

[Tom Cummings 0]

Klinkhammer #20.

 

Thanks. Super easy fast and nice below film movement on tail

[chugbug27 0]

Thought so, but it looks a lot stronger and smaller than my klinkhammer hooks manufactuted by partridge... what company makes yours?

[Tom Cummings 0]

Orvis brand. They are strong I admit

 

Adams dry revisited. Size #16

I don't like my thinner version from partridge, bends too easily, I like the one you're using

[Tom Cummings 0]

I find it quite hard to bend. Usually thread breaks or if I do bend it its because I am forcing the hook to accept a bead to make it beyond the sharp bend. Happened 1 time out of nearly 50 hooks in a pack.

Thanks for the response and examples flytire

 

Good to be reminded the pros break thread, make hackle size mistakes, and generally screw up occasionally. Well except Kimo, I'll never believe it, even with pics!!

 

Seriously nice flies from everyone. Hope I can tie again soon.
