brilliant looking fly , but do the eyes not tend to fall off ?

 

I use super glue to fix the eyes

 

Nice strong looking barbless hooks them. and nice fly
more of a muddled minkie than a streamer but still nice

 

Nice job Lucian. Anyone know where to buy these hooks?

Taniwha,

The hooks are sold by Fly D & K, Slovakia:

I have just agreed a trade account with them so will be bringing many of the range into the UK for the Boutique website.

In the meantime, the Grip 11801BL is sizes 8 and 10 would do nicely ...

Would you like some Grip samples? Let me know.

Kind regards

 

Hi Phil, a very generous offer thank you, but I did a major tiemco-knapek-partridge sld/sud barbless hook restock restock earlier in the season when it looked like prices/supplies were becoming a problem (a several year supply based on my very modest outputs). Better I sample grip hooks in my fly order for next season. The Dohiku HDS particularly interests me as it has the knapek style point and a longer shank - I'd be delighted to buy some of those when you have them in stock
regards
Mark

 

Mark,

Will let you know when the stock arrives.

Kind regards

 

some good fly tying there!!!
