Got hooks form Italy this Spring. Going to East Kootenays soon and will report back.Have you fished (caught fish) on the 226? If so, has it held up? At one point I tied up a bunch of flies on that general style--not sure if it was the 2487 or the non-h 2488, and those things would open up even on very modest fish (like 10" or 12"). Really frustrating. I think it was the 2487, as I remember speculating that the down eye was making the leverage angle worse.
But the 2488h is a great hook. Makes it a little tougher to keep flies svelte, but it doesn't bend out at all.
That'll never work...A bit smaller than what I typically fish, but a friend recently demonstrated the power of small. I did trim the flash a bit shorter after I saw the pic.
