    Default A "Big Eye" Hook

    Hi,

    I have been ordering the Orvis "Big Eye" hooks for flies in sizes 16 and 18. Nothing more frustrating out on the stream having difficulty tying that fly on while trout are rising!
    Anyway, I thought this small BWO (CDC wings and snowshoe body) show the advantage to the large eye?

    100% Snowshoe (using a dubbing loop) with big eye hook
