Mike, I enjoy reading your adventures. I spent 2 winters in Park City, and used to fish the Provo a lot. I've been following your blog for a number of years, ever since I saw your streamer ties on WashingtonFlyFishing. You inspired me to tie Sex Dungeons and Parakeets for our New Zealand browns. I see you use JJ Specials too. I have trouble sizing hooks for all these flies. What sizes do you tie your streamers in - and what hook sizes for articulated monsters? I guess I'm afraid of going too large and damaging fish. Cheers, Rudy, NZ
generally for my single hook streamers i use a long shank #2 hook and for my articulated flies i like the gamakatzu B10S's with the rear hook being a #4 and the front hook a #2
Thanks, Mike.
Those are big flies... :)
Hooks variety is very limited here in New Zealand - Kamasan and Tiemco rule the market. There are no bass, so no stinger type hooks. I'll try source some Gammy B10S online.
Ous season opens Sat, so need some big streamers in case the rivers are high and dirty!
Cheers!
