kjackson Posted Monday at 09:45 PM Posted Monday at 09:45 PM I think I'd need one already tied to the tippet for a #20. Back when I kinda cared about chasing trout, I ran into the PR director for Daiwa who was an avid fly fisherman--Rex Gerlach. He could tie a Royal Coachman on a #28.I wouldn't buy it, but then it was confirmed by someone else.
BilletHead Posted Monday at 09:46 PM Author Posted Monday at 09:46 PM Dang.

BilletHead Posted Monday at 10:05 PM Author Posted Monday at 10:05 PM 1 minute ago, ness said: Who do you order stuff from these days? Various places John. I just do a search on what I need and then compare prices. This is where I found the hooks I would like to try. While I ordered the hooks, I also ordered some Veevus thread. The stuff is strong for its size. I used 14/0 on the dries. Works well but wanted smaller. 16/0 is ordered and will give it a whirl.

Foghorn Posted Tuesday at 12:51 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:51 PM I tie some emerger patterns on size 18 and 20 Tiemco 2457 and 2487 hooks. That works best when I use a magnifying lamp so as not to crowd the eye of the hook. It can get challenging tying them on 6-7x on the stream. BilletHead 1
