Got hooks, not sure what to tie - albinotrout - 05-18-2013
Well I picked up some size 2 streamer hooks holding to tie some clousers. Realized these were way too long and instead used some 2/0 hooks with a shorter shank. Now what to use these hooks for? Any ideas?
Here's a pic of the clousers.

Streamers, Buggers. That size is what I use for my Bunny flies. I love streamer hooks. I also use them on my Gartside Softhackle for the fish that light bite the tail.
Sometimes you feel you have a nice fish on to find out it only had fibers in it's mouth and never made it as far as the hook.
