A la the low-water salmon ties. Rene wrote: >>On the other hand there is the concept of 'overhooked' flies, especially nymphs and some dries. They use a hook that is too large for the fly. Best example is Goddards 'garoff' <sp?> nymph which is tied on 50% of the hook's shank. Adds weight to the flie but keeps the silhouette slim. On dries it improves the hooking capability of the pattern. The fish seems not to fear the bigger hook.<<
