Hooks The principal part of any fly is the hook. I do not intend to go into a lengthy discussion on angles of draft 74 or other technicalities of fish hooks as good flies nowadays are always tied on suitable hooks and fly fishers should use nothing but good flies as their quarry is a hard fighter and his mouth is exceedingly tough, requiring a sharp point to hook him and an honestly made hook to hold him. My preference is for the round bend hooks like the O'Shaughnessey or Sproat in the larger sizes and the Model Perfect, Limerick or Sproat in the smaller ones although if the hook is of good quality I will not reject a well-tied fly if on a hook with a side bend like the Sneck — and I don't believe a fish would either. |
