I love this fly!! The rainbow version too. That hook is awesome! I tried this fly for the first time last week and wow! Just like you said it would be. I had salmon going out of their way to smash it! Caught 3 right in a row. Very nice fly i plan to keep in my boxes at all times! Thanks for the great service too! Fish on!

Thank you very much. I've had some computer problems lately so I'm switching to a Mac and have a whole new editing system to learn. It will be better when I learn it though. This fly is a killer. I tried it on a local stream full of 9-10 in trout and the were smacking it. That big hook didn't make a difference. I really think those big eyes make a difference.

Shawn, nice streamer. Do you like the up eye on that octopus hook or would you use any of the short shank straight eye hooks that have similar wire strength? I realize you like the wide gap in relation to shank length but the octopus hooks I have are offset. I'm told it makes the streamer swim on it's side. It doesn't seem to have made a difference in you success, I'm just curious. 😕 Thanks again, lots of tips on prep and tying in the wing.

Joe Duca that's the hook that I like to use especially for fishing during the salmon run. Don't be afraid to try it on a different hook that you have. I say it all the time in my videos use what you have. Good luck
