Thanks Bill and Tim! I do like the idea of tying a small (tiny) fly on a “larger” hook, especially since that “larger” hook would have a bigger gap than the tiny hook. BUT…won’t the size of the larger hook (even if tied with a smaller fly) be perceived by the trout as a larger offering? I don’t know what fish actually see, but won’t they include the size of the hook when they are considering taking the fly? Just asking…I don’t have enough experience to draw on for this quandary.
