Do you suppose it would help to tie on a mono weedguard
like on bass and pike flies? It might cut down on fair hookups
too, but it doesn't sound like that would be too much of a
problem.

Maybe. I really don't enough experience with fishing flies
with weedguards, or pinks for that matter..... The only time
I really had a problem with foul hooking seemed to be in water
that was about knee deep and maybe 20-30' out. The line would
cross their hump, the belly of the fly line would drag and
cause the fly to hook the males in the hump. A weedguard may
be worth checking out. Tying the flies with the hook point up
may also be something worth looking into.....
