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 -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
