Murf,
That's ok, no problem...  I've already decided on a different pattern that I caught a lot of Winter and Summer run Steelhead, up on the Skykomish River, Washington...  A really hot fly up there and on a size #12 Salmon/Steelhead hook...  The one I was tying up is on a #8 hook and about 3" long...

Rodney,

I got so many folks wanting the rules changed in different ways that I left it up to the tyers to decide within reason.  While a #8 streamer is a bit big if another tyer enters a #16 dry beside it, it will still fit in the format I've imagined.  Now those 2/0 minimums of another swap are just too big for the shadow box size I imagined but your #8 is reasonable, if not on the edge.  Now if you tell me its a 6x long hook then maybe we should talk.

Oh well back to the drawing board... > >Rodney...
