Dang, Chubb! Very nice!
I figured you'd find a way to put the hook closer to the back of the fly without just using a longer shank hook; I've heard that fish are able to get better leverage & throw longer shank hooks easier.
Is the shank something you fabricated, or bought? Don't recall ever seeing anything quite like that before now. Can you put a single hook on there?

IMO is more the wgt of the lure that whiplashes any lure out of a fishes mouth.... ive never had a problem with long shanks but it may be true.
its a redditch shank extender made for treble hooks and fly tyers. But i actualy use them to tune crank baits to achieve a 2 foot kick out swim pattern.
Because of their design a single hook will stick out to the sides rather than up or down.....unless someone can find a single hook with its eye wire paralell to the hook bend. I find i best to just snip two hooks. The hook on a treble's eye allows it to line up good.
Here is a custom long shank single...fly is 5 inches long and hook is in tail section....that fly is my attempt at a RMW pattern
Bob you'll be getting more mail...let me get caught up..thanks

I need lessons to create some of those, still searching for my first brown and first bull trout! Well done!

Sure looks like a whitefish to me, Mr. Chubb; very nice!
More mail? Sounds good, but I'd prefer hand delivery; that way, I can shake your hand...

Speaking of whitefish...
...it would take a 20" fly to imitate the one I caught on Friday; and, I think I'd be a little scared of the fish that would eat this hawg!
Biggest whitie I've ever caught...

4 Fish for you to enjoy. Never underestimate GPRIME Before you comment about the dates they are all 2011 fish. Guy doesn't know how to set his camera dates when the battery dies

Wow, how can you tell? If nothing has changed since the day I caught him, he's back in there waiting for you to catch him again.
