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.

w, Howdy;

You are up to your normal standard of way-way up there!

They remind me of the Tummel style tyes that Donald N. has shared us.

With a saggy butt... :lol:

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. :lol:

Thanks, Bill. I would think these would be tough to spit out. Maybe I won't miss so many takes. :D

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. :D

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. :lol:
