However, I have no bias against synthetics. When I saw these posted online I thought those look like they will catch fish. The original post called for a size 10 hook. That may be a bit large on my local waters so I dropped it to a number 14. We’ll see how they work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted April 13 Bruce, Wonderful work with the deer hair. Thanks for posting. If you tie any more, I might have to pull out some deer hair. Unfortunately, mine will look that they were tied by a 6th grader. No offense to 6th graders. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
