Circle hooks and trout flies.

Post by **Cranfield** » August 5th, 2002, 3:47 pm

Has anyone any experience of trout flies tied on circle hooks ?

Thanks CaptRon, are they available commercially ? I would like to try them for rainbows and browns.

I do not possess a Spey rod.
I used one once, it was the most exhausting 2 hours I have spent in my entire life.
Its pretty to watch, but you can fish the same water far easier with a worm, prawn or lure AND catch fish.

Are the Tarpon all gone by the Autumn ?

Capt Ron, thanks for the website, a nice selection.

I would like to SEE a Tarpon, catching one would be a miracle.

If you have a spare 15 foot of Telegraph pole laying about, I will be quite happy to show you how to spey cast.
Note: "show" not demonstrate.
Quickest way to get a hernia that I know.

Do we get to wear white sports socks with our tweeds ?
I,ve got a drawer full that have suddenly become obsolete.

CF, Are you coming back this fall?

Dewey, having sold all the refrigerator magnets, that I brought back with me from the Spring, we will indeed be making a shorter excursion to St Georges Island in October.

I only confirmed flights, accommodation, etc this afternoon.

Cran, Why don't you just go ahead and take the citizenship quiz while you're here.

ferris, there are few things, that would please me more.

Every time my wife sees one of those "You know you,re a Redneck" lists, she says that it applies to me, mostly before we were married.
