Guest Report post Posted December 6, 2003 I seen that you successfully tied it for smallmouth, what size and type of hook did you use because I'm wanting to attempt to tie some up. Nicely done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dble Haul 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 John, between the article in the magazine and all of your other instructions in various places on the internet the tying of this fly wasn't too difficult. It was a bit time consuming for the first time, but I expect the process to get more streamlined as I do more of them. Overall, your instructions are excellent, and the mag article has some helpful additional tips. Will, for smallies I made some of these on size 2 and 4 hooks, and the best color combo was chartruese over white. I wrapped some lead around the hook shank as a first step so that the flies would get down in the water. Although I don't recall the exact model of hook, suffice it to say that the overall fly length was anywhere from 2.5 to 4 inches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
