Scott, thanks so much for the SBS's you are posting. Many of your techniques and a number of the patterns have made their way into my fly boxes this winter.

I use that hook to tie pencil poppers for bass. If someone had not posted a picture of an actual salmonfly I would not believe that hook size is needed. One question on the pattern, although it is part of the pattern recipe, when something is that big, does it really need an indicator?
