Re: Yorkshire Trout Flies
That's true, but Norris wrote a lengthy passage on sizing the hackle relative to the hook. From his book: "In choosing your feathers, the length of the fibres should be in proportion to the size of the hook, or rather the length of its shank."redietz wrote:Norris was tying on larger hooks, though.
Re: Yorkshire Trout Flies
Exactly my point. Since he was tying on larger hooks, the feathers end up being about the same size as on North Country wets.ThirdMeadow wrote:That's true, but Norris wrote a lengthy passage on sizing the hackle relative to the hook.

Re: Yorkshire Trout Flies
One would think that one should choose hackle in proportion to what one would want to represent, not?
