Such a simple pattern, Barry...but I'm betting quite effective! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video lesson. I started buying Mustad hooks but it took me awhile to figure out how to open them 😂😂😂😂

#18 😯

[@Thefeatherbender]

Yes...

[@kevinhollis1143]

What part of the season would you say this fly works best, or is it one of those year round flies? Thanks. Love your videos.

[@Thefeatherbender]

It's a all year round pattern really...

[@kevinhollis1143]

Hi Barry another question - only seem to be able to get to size 18s in UK for these Mustad hooks and you mentioned you made them on smaller hook sizes, so what do you use for that please?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Kevin, the barbless is only available down to a #18 but the barbed version of this hook is available down to a # 22. mustad-fishing.com/no/product/c49sap?colorName=TitanX&packQuantity=25&hookSize=22
