Here's something different. These make a great parachute emerger hook, but that wouldn't cut it here, now would it. This is the Gamakatsu C15-BV Exec.

Nicely tied, william. These "Klinkhamer" hooks should have outstanding hooking power, and they look great too.

Really like the hook, that last tie should be a real killer.

great flies, but you really need to taking "branding" lessons from kelly gallup: SBH&M sounds like a really bad strip club somewhere in Yorkshire.

Thanks, Bill. I would think these would be tough to spit out. Maybe I won't miss so many takes.
CB, from what I hear, sagging isn't even the biggest issue in those Yorkshire establishments. Maybe as Hank suggest, I should just call them Saggy Tummels. Sounds less skanky. My naming conventions aren't usually attention getters, but this posterior condition really needed to be addressed.

yes, one does learn things in such establishments,
a posteriori as it were.
at any rate, that's a great hook--i'd be tempted to tie up some emergers using the Jonny King method (my version: tie a "hackle-stacker" mono loop about mid-thorax, wrap and secure, then a snowshoe hare wing. Pull the hackle through the wing, splitting it, then tie the loop off at the eye.

I really like the look of those, and you've done it again William,
I'll probably be spending more money on hooks.
