Micro Nymph Jig
I am slowly but surely getting hooked on these european jig fly hooks. I mainly use them for the depth charges. Heavy flies designed to bring a multiple fly rig down into the "zone". By design these flies will ride hook point up there by reducing (but not eliminating) hang ups. I recently discovered some of these hooks in size 16 and 18, and got to work tying some micro nymphs on them.

Hey Brother this is totally unrelated to your post but I think its something more East coast trout heads should be aware of. Heres a link to the Take Action site from TU http://takeaction.tu.org/c.ntJSJ8MPIqE/b.5824071/k.4C3D/Upper_Delaware_River_Watershed/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx I grew up in NJ and fished the Delly often and it would be a shame to see it destroied!!! If its something that interests you post it and get more envolved!
