Default Re: Fly tying question

i know what it does. but some states do not allow two hooks. whether you cut off a barb or not. besides a long shank hook will be big enough and someone can actually cast it.
winter fishing involves going deep if you want to catch more than an occasional fish. big bushy flies dont sink much without alot of weight. and alot of weight makes for sore ears from getting hit by the fly in the back of your head.
its more fun for me anyway to fish with smaller flies that are sparsly dressed and lightly weighted. i can cast them on light rods and far out. rather than using shooting heads which make you work.
