Numskull, last year was the year of the danny and darter for me.. for the dannies, i found the best hook combination is 2 3/0's and a snipped tail hook... great minds think alike

I had a large Lupo danny sloped headed swimmer in my hands yesterday and was amazed at the size of the belly trebbles that they used back then- the hooks had to be 7/0's or even 8/0's... I guess that was to get around not using a belly weight.

Steelhead- Pics coming tonight of the saddle hackle you sent me
I like a 3/0 front an a 2/0 rear hook on my danny's for some reason that combo gives me the best of both worlds.I gotta try some wit a skinnier tail.
