I hit one of my favorite streams on Sunday and learned a valuable lesson do not use Dohiku hooks I lost at least three nice brown trout. It may have been user error.I have been told about thes hooks before.I still had a great day anyway always good to be on the stream. Catching does count though.I also learned when your gonna nymph bring the right rod. I forgot my streamflex and used my 9 5 wt instead.Dry dropper was the best bet. I was lucky enough to run across some pheasent feathers laying in the field. They will get put to good use at the vise. Im heading North this coming week to try and bag a deer I would rather be fishing but its a long running tradition at the cabin. I will find myself looking for wild brookies in the small streams while walking up the hollows.
Nice pics and report. I dont buy into all those euro hooks. Try using daiichi, i have a great hook up and land ratio with them.
ReplyDeleteI love Dohikus. They are much safer for the fish and look great. Gotta remember to keep a tighter line with them though. Any slack will cause them to throw the hook.
