Re: [VFB] Hook ?

Expanding on point number 1, I guess it would cause the fly to sit in the water differently, in fact the head of a dry fly might be pushed under the water??   Chris http://www.fishingbid.co.uk The Free Fishing Auction ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Van Erem To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 9:20 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Hook ? 3 comments from the peanut gallery...   1) I agree, extra weight at the head of the fly is a poor idea.  Ease of threading is not worth the trade off.   2) Also, a #22 fly is going to present poorly on 5x or thicker tippet.    3) I have used white river hooks.  I don't want to bash, but I found them brittle -- I broke two in the vise, a few on shrubs, and one on a fish.  They are my last resort, in case I NEED a size sold out in the name brands.    My 2 cents,   Brian Byard Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Byard - > >Any idea who makes the fly hooks that Bass Pro Shops sells under >their White River Fly Shops name? > >- Gary That I don't know Gary...I've not seen them. ...byard -- Byard Miller Line's End Inc Virtual Flybox Do you Yahoo!?
