As some of you know from my recent posts, I am fairly new to tying, but I am embracing it with a great deal of interest and energy. I have read a lot, and watched a lot of videos, and yes I do tie too! A trap I fell into early was reading and watching videos, but not tying much...duh.
As you know, there are an infinite number of patterns for every fly...guys add a twist here and there. One video I saw tied a classic PT nymph on a curved hook. It definitely looks "buggy" and I thought I might give it a try. If you think about the fact that a curved hook helps to represent the nymph in motion, it makes sense.
So my question is this. Do any of you tie PT nymphs on curved hooks, and have you had success with them?
Thanks as always,
Steve
