eastern fly

Thank you

These are for articulated freshwater streamers. As for the sizes, I'm sure you know there is no standard for hook sizing. Example the information I have shows the Gamma B10s 1/0 in hook length of 39mm. Looking at Allen's site the B200 #4 shows a length of 1 1/2"~1 9/16" which equals ~39mm (Allen's site actually shows the hooks on a piece or grid paper). Regardless, explain how the sizes don't match up? What am I missing? A cut and past on the Gamma Info: Hook length #14 -12mm -hook gap (shank to point) 4mm Hook length #12 -14mm -hook gap (shank to point) 5mm Hook length #10 -17mm-hook gap (shank to point)6 mm Hook length #8 - 20mm -hook gap (shank to point) 7mm Hook length #6 - 23mm - hook gap (shank to point) 9mm Hook length #4 - 25mm - hook gap (shank to point) 11mm Hook length #2 - 32mm - hook gap (shank to point) 13mm Hook length #1 - 35mm - hook gap (shank to point) 15mm Hook length 1/0 - 39mm - hook gap (shank to point) 16mm Hook length 2/0 - 42mm - hook gap (shank to point) 18mm As far as my articulated streamers I changed my hooks. I like round bend worm hooks. I get mine from BPS. Kevin

I have used a lot of the Allen B200 in different sizes. The sizes are close but not the same. I think if you try them you will like them. Kevin

That looks like it work for a Sulphur pattern. I like it. Kevin

I have the Wolf Ambush on my 7wt. I have looking into the other but not sure if I needed both. From what I have been told here and FB I don't think I do. Kevin

Can someone answer this question? What's the difference between a Wolf Ambush and a OPST Commando Head? Kevin

Yes yours was on the list. it will get worked out on our next swap together. Kevin

Your flies should be rolling in any time now. I had to get my wife to mail them. Somehow we had to pay $8.26 shipping but I can't see how it worked out on the receipt. She told me it was B. Cook, Vincente and Sauceder. Did you see something different? Kevin

No I had to work all stinking weekend. I know I will have time this time. Kevin

All the flies are in now. I will try to get mailed this weekend. Kevin

Ok thanks

Yes that's the plan. Streamers are my thing so I have tried many different leaders. Kevin

I was also going to ask who's fly? Kevin

Well if you would like my $.02 I use a 3 to 5' leader. I have used both knotted and straight. I do like knotted better. Either 25/15/10 or 30/20/15. The main thing I watch is the line diameter. Not to drop to far pat .o3. I use a large look in the end for easy changes. Kevin

Sounds like cows here, same thing. Kevin

vicente I got yours today. GP I will let you know. Kevin

Thanks for that. It will give me another place to start. I have also been told there are hybrid strip bass there also. Kevin Wipers are only going to be found within 2 locks upstream of the city, if I'm not mistaken. And I also remember hearing they may have ended the stocking program for them. Not sure how recently, though. The info I got came from a guy with a fish in hand. I will find out. Kevin

Thanks for that. It will give me another place to start. I have also been told there are hybrid strip bass there also. Kevin

Does anyone know a US distributor for nayat hair? I would like to try it unless you know a sub for it. I have Icelandic sheep already. Kevin

The flats and smaller feathers are good hackles. Kevin

Pittsburgh area fisherman, what would be a good musky color fly for the 3 big rivers. Kevin

Mine are not on a SW hook. Kevin

Ok I will let you know when I get them. Kevin

The beads probably got twisted on yours. They're supposed to be on the sides of the hook. I may have forgotten head cement on a couple of them. ok they are in line with the hook point. Kevin
