North Carolina Posts: 36	Well, I guess you guys can see the photobucket pic? I'm unable to see it!! I'm not a fly tyer only an obsessed fly angler but thank you for the kind words! The hook is a Grip #14723BL. I believe it was specifically designed for emerger patterns? I also believe that Daiichi makes a hook so similar it is almost impossible to tell the difference. It's a #1250 Mark, your flies are excellent in every detail! I particularly like the Li'l Dorothy and the Tups! Thank you for putting them up. Do you think they would be as effective with the Grip or Daiichi emerger hook?

Site Editor Wellsville, NY Posts: 540	Grip Tups Click on the link. You tell me! I've heard some complaints about the these Grip hooks that the wire is too soft. There are other hooks of similar shape. Daiichi 1150 I think. The wire is a bit heavier. Mark

North Carolina Posts: 36	I surely don't feel they would be any less effective. Looks good! More natural looking to me. My guy uses the Daiichi 1250, of which I posted above.

	They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax. Radcliffe's Fishing from the Earliest Times,

Site Editor Wellsville, NY Posts: 540	First, an explanation. The Sulfur Emerger photo is Bobbyg's. People were having problems seeing it, so I simply posted a link to it so people could. It is a very nice looking fly. Reminds me of one tied by Allen McGee. Tony, Glad you like the print. I guess it arrived in good condition. Mark
