This is unbelievable.. Make me laff though.. Just up until a cpl years ago,
I fished live minnows for crappie using #4 wire "crappie hooks",(most ppl
around here use #2's for crappie with minnows) and I used #8 and #10 hooks
for bluegills using live worms.. And, when my friends saw my using the #8's
and specially the #10's they thought I was crazy (they were using #4's for
the most part, and sometimes #6's.. I told them, "The biggest mistake ppl
make, is fishing too big a hook size".. Now, a size 8 is like a gaffing hook
when tying bluegill flies LOL...I don't know what that would make the #2 and
#4 crappie hooks, LOL, Chuck

Subject: [VFB] Small hooks
Got this from a friend yesterday.
This ought to tell what small hooks can do.
He only fishes bamboo, and has fished Crooked Creek
and the White with me.

Just in case you might be interested. I fished the
Davidson River in the Pisgah National Forest today.
Took 7 for 9 fish, the largest a 24 inch brown,
smallest about 12 inches and a 15 inch Brookie. Lost
one heck of a nice rainbow, saw him sitting behind a
rock and on the second cast he took. Shot straight up
stream through a rock strewn riffle and broke me off.
OH yeh all on #26 midges.
