Incidentally, I'm working on a streamer design intended to foil short
strikers. Lost two steelhead on Saturday that short struck a long fly
with a short hook. That design seems to work OK for head hunting
browns and smallies that engulf their prey but it's crap when dealing
with tail pullers. My "take to solid hookup" ratio with this fly is
probably less than 50% when dealing with Grand River steelhead.

Soon as I've hooked up a few fish and get an idea if they work as
intended, I can post up a few pics.
