Nice pattern, Carl. I quite like your choice of hook- what make and model would that be?
Dana
Dick Walker’s wet ring eye hook from Gaelic Supreme. Nice classic look.

Very nice- that is just about identical to the old Mustad 7974 that I have.
They’re real oddballs, I’ve never seen them anywhere else, except in a junk box I bought about 15 years ago....

Correction: the hook I mentioned is a Mustad 7947, NOT the 7974, which is the kirbed tapered down eye model. Heavy wire make it sink a bit quicker; the larger ring eye accommodates the tippet size I most often use, which is 3X.
Sorry about the "LYFT": during earlier days on the internet stepping on someone else's thread was considered "hijacking". However, this is more of a supplement, something to satisfy my fascination with hooks........I'm not really veering off in another direction, you're just giving me a Lyft

Thank you, no. I would desecrate them by using them as nymphs. They deserve better.

I don't mind given you a LYFT!
I have a couple boxes of the 7947's. The shape is similar, but the Gaelic definitely has a more refined figure.

Thanks Carl
I’m sure you bought those hooks from the same guy I did. Over the course of a year I think I bought 3 million vintage Mustads..... but they go quick, I only wish I bought more

Carl,
This pattern is off the scale good! Simple, yet as we all know, deadly effective! The hook you used is equally awesome! Nice work Carl!
