When you’re using this hook your dry flies will not only look beautiful but be highly effective. Fishing dry flies is the pinnacle of fly fishing, there’s just nothing like watching a carefully tied bundle of hair and feathers disappear underneath a dimple on the surface of the water followed by an explosive realization of the mistake the fish has made. Fishing dry flies for trout is an absolutely exhilarating experience, and if you want to get started tying flies for your next dry fly session, this is the perfect hook to get.
