Subject: Re: [VFB] Jig Hooks Question

 

No expert here but since taking up Euro Nymphing I have tied on jig hooks.  
They are almost all 60 degree.  According to Lance Egan the reason he uses the 
jig hooks is because it causes the hook to ride point up.  I have found them 
good for hookups

Hi VFB!

 

Hope all goes well.

 

I saw an idea about the use of a jig hook for suspended fly patterns that I am 
investigating.  Up to now, I have not favored suspended patterns because they 
seem to have very poor hooking qualities.  A close friend, an excellent 
flyfisher, came to the same conclusion.

 

However, I aim to maintain my fool's status and want to see If I can correct 
the problem.

 

Can anyone tell me why the upright hookeye part of jig hooks come in varying 
angles?  The most common is the 90-degree, but hook manufacturers make 30 and 
60-degree models.  Why?  What is the effect of changing that angle?

 

--weather report--

 

We are finally getting some snow accumulation in Bend, Oregon.  Up til a week 
ago, much of the US west has been very dry, like 50% of normal historical 
snowpack.  But we have made some gains so prospects of a major drought, fires, 
low water, stressed fish etc. get pushed further out.

 

 

Thanks,

Wes Wada

Bend, Oregon
