and further....what do you think the trout keys upon?
Do you think they consider rightsideup, upside-down or
whatever, or merely judge size, color, motion and position in the water
column? Hmmmmm, indeed!

I't been hard for me to believe that nearly any properly sized fly won't
work ... I can barely see the damn thing, how does a trout see it well
enough to reject it !!





I don't seem to be able to find barbless wet fly hooks small enough for the
pattern you suggest ( I have them down to #18, but bet #20 to #24 will be
needed on Silver Creek ) I'll use some dry fly hooks .... that will
probably work OK?
