Hooks that cover many bases

Varivas 2200BL Hooks

Fishing earlier in the week, flies were on the water, Black Knats, Hawthorns, LDO’s, Medium Olives and Mayflies.
The fish were looking up and rising, some were obvious and some were very subtle, just gentle sips.
So I started off with a Black Klink size 12 to cover the Hawthorns and it worked a treat, later on when there was more Mayflies about I switched to an extended body Mayfly and that worked as well, when it was obvious the the fish were taking Olives I switched to Olive Klinks, size 12 for the LDO’s and 14 for the Medium Olives. All of the flies were tied on the same hook pattern, just two sizes, if the fish had been fixed on the Black Knat it would have been the same hook pattern either a size 16 or 18 Black Klink. The hook pattern was the Varivas 2200BL, which has become my go to hook pattern for Klinks, extended body upwings and emerging sedge pupa.
