I never would have thought to tie this fly on this hook; you did a wonderful job. My grandfather loved this pattern tied tandem, I hated it. I followed his lead on the 9/3's, but not the Black Ghost. I really like the idea of adding the JC to this fly, Norm.

Norm,
I'm with Mike on this one! The hook choice is exceptional on this pattern and really adds a new dimension to this timeless classic! Thanks for bringing it to us!
