It sure is. One day when I was fishing with my buddy in his 10 ft flat bottomed jon boat, I caught 28 fish on the same fly. The last 4 were just a bare hook. Pretty good day of fishing. All with an intermediate sinking line.
I don't know if it was on the VFB or the prior list I was on that I posted this. Some years ago when my friend and hit the White. It was March the sun was shining but it was cold. We fished Cotter where the spring flows into the White. The action was fast but the Trout were not very big. We were catching so many that a bunch that were at the park assembled on the rise behind us. I was using a sz 14 Emerger tied in a scud hook. Every time Al or I would catch a fish they would clap and shout. The fly I was using started really getting torn up till there was nothing but the bare hook. I don't know what that hook represented but they took it on every cast. I ended up with 98 Trout, all but one were Browns. The other one was a Cut bow. Al C&R over 100. I have never seen another day like that. I posted this and got replies from a number on the list that using a bare hook in their state was illegal. The hook has to be a colored hook to be legal. I am sure it is hard to believe this but it did happen. The trout were between 9 and 11 inches. That is small for the White considering they don't stock anything less than 12 inches.
