According to experienced fishermen have already learned about the different types of bass fishing hooks available. Novices in the sport should have the opportunity to learn about another type of bass fishing hooks and their particular uses and advantages.

Off Shank Hooks

Off rod hooks are best used artificual bait. They have a bend at the top of the hook where it is attached to the fishing line. Shank hooks are built this way by design. The way the function is converted directly into the mouth of the fish when the hook is set. The way the angler sets the hook impacts or not, he or she catches a fish, especially when using artificial lures. While regular hooks can be effective, Reed hooks help catch a greater amount of fish low. They also provide consistent results.

Straight Shank Hooks

Straight shank hooks are very effective when used with bait live. Small fish, such as work very well with this rod right hooks. The design of a hook straight stem does not inhibit the movement of bait live. Because this type of hook allows the bait to swim, the bait is able to do their work. The work of bait fish is to get there. By striking the bait, the fish really breathes. When you set the hook, then gets caught in the hard bony parts of the fish's mouth.

Super Sharp Shank

Cane Super sharp hooks work well with artificial bait. With the super rod Sharp, the user is able to put the largest artificial bait on the hook. This prevents the fish from escaping after obtaining the bait strikes WIH shoreter.

Each type of fishing hooks for bass is unique. These hooks can be used several ways. Bass fishermen have many choices to make in the selection of fishing hooks. Each individual must choose the best bass fishing hooks to its objectives. It comes down to a matter of personal preference.

We model Savvy Bass

In some fishing the most popular, as many are able to draw away from food. Under even able to determine the kind of some hooks. Bass hooks are still effective, although due to be made to attract low strike in things that are not food. When dealing with these fish very well, however, the best approach is to hide hooks wherever possible. We must outsmart the bass. Remember that you are in its territory. The fish in the lower house in the fishing waters. They are more familiar with them than you or a human being, always will be. Therefore, it is essential to be very particular with the process of fishing. A Better Place Smart could fish under the hook and stay away because of the risk posed Aware. Some fish are still able to snatch the bait hook before the angler makes a fish was everywhere. The willingness of fishermen are very aware and a notice of any action happens to set their hooks.

Tiemco Fly
Fly fishing dry and wet fly hooks?

I recently bought size 12 and size 16 tiemco dry fly hooks. Can I also use these hooks for nymphs (hares ear, copper john, prince nymphs etc) or do they not sink well enough?
well they sink as well as nymph hooks though.

Yes you can use them for tying nymphs, the major problem you will be facing here is hook strength as a lighter wire is used for dry flies. As for sinking you can counter that with a beadhead or if you don't want to use a bead Gehrkes makes a product called "Xink" that is used for wet flies.(Gehrkes makes "Gink" for dry flies)

Yes, they will sink as soon as the fly gets soaked. Still I reccommend either using a bead or using a regular nymph hook.

My favorite fly fishing technique in the late summer/ early fall is performed with a dry line and long leader in rather shallow water using a tiny "hyalella shrimp".

The onset of cooler weather triggers the fish to start their pre-winter gorge. Hyalella shrimp are plentiful in marl bottoms and along the shallow weed beds. In many of the Kamloops lakes you will find fish cruising in as shallow as 2 feet of water, adding "sight fishing" to dramatically intensify the experience. A good pair of polaroid glasses come in real handy too!

I don't know why the long leader makes a difference but it does. We tie our own 20' to 24' fluorocarbon tapered leaders. The fish cruise through, sometimes in schools, sometimes by themselves, picking their way along the bottom, sucking up the tiny shrimp by the hundreds.

The retrieve is probably the most important. Without using a strike indicator, just cast alongside the weed bed (or to the fish if you see them), letting the shrimp settle to the bottom. Gently tighten the line so that it straightens. With the patience of hanging a chironimid, slowly retrieve the shrimp. Let it settle occasionally and continue to retrieve. Vary the speeds from extremely slow to short, light, 2 inch bursts. If you are casting over the weeds you will have to adjust your speed accordingly to prevent a hang-up.The flies are so small that they move along quite well over the weeds as long as you keep the fly moving.

Hyalella shrimp are a food staple for rainbow trout, particularly in the fall as they flourish in the marl or in weed beds. A few times my fishing buddy K.J. and I have actually seen fish that have committed involuntary suicide pursuing a vein of shrimp in the marl. What appears to happen to them is they chase the shrimp as they retreat into the marl eventually getting their heads stuck in the marl. If the marl goes past a portion of the gill plate, the fish get stuck, like on a barbed hook, and can't back out. They then smother to death. It's a rare event to see.

Here are a list of lakes that I like to sight fish with hyalella shrimp in shallow marl in the Kamloops Area. These lakes all have white bottomed marl (except Bleeker)

Peter Hope - Huge marl flats all around the lake

Roche Lake - the south end and south east islands

Black Lake- near Roche Lake - fabulous structure around the lake

Hosli Lake - near Roche - need a 4x4 here if the road is wet or muddy. The mid-lake shoal by the rocks is also known for it's fabulous sedge hatches in June and July.

Bleeker Lake - near Roche Lake

Community Lake - extensive flats along shoreline and around the islands

...and many more.

Occasionally, when you are fishing large marl flats like at: Peter Hope lake, Roche Lake and even Community Lake, there is a possibility that you may see what I am talking about. My friend KJ and I have found a few 4-5lb fish dead, tail up and head buried, over the last couple of years. It's eerie to look at.

Be prepared for a crazy fight, especially when the fish are over 20 inches and in the shallow water. The lack of depth takes the vertical dimension away from the fish so the run horizontally, frequently in multiple circles around the boat. My personal record count is 6 complete circle tows before I landed the fish.

Hyalella shrimp have a full range of natural colours with varying degrees of natural shades. Try light beige to brown, light mint green to olive dark green or even gray or orange patterned shrimp. The late Jack Shaw(legendary fly tyer and fly fisherman) tied an "opalescent shrimp" and used it with great success. His pattern is vividly illustrated in the new book by his old friend Ralph Shaw, titled "The Pleasure of His Company". (see below)

Tiemco scud hooks-2487 and Mustad-3906B #12, #14 and #16 seem to work best for me. Body material is usually natural or synthetic dubbing or ostrich feather strands. Occasionally I will put a tiny glass bead head on the size #12's but I rarely pull a back on them... I usually just trim the material short on the top side of the hook and apply some gloss. A fine rib (clear, red, gold or silver) is acceptable but not necessary.

Another note... rainbow trout will cruise these marl shoals and weedbeds all day however they appear to be most active in low light conditions (overcast) or when the sun is in a low position... 2 hours before sunset or within 2 hours after sunrise.

It takes a lot of patience, even for experienced fishermen to master this technique but when you do, you will be well rewarded and forever smitten.

Dave Ouellette worked with Ducks Unlimited Canada in the British Columbia interior for 11 years and had a virtual run on some of the best fly fishing lakes in BC. While constructing over 200 conservation wetland segments in southern /south-central BC, Dave managed to fish almost as many lakes and streams in his travels. Now, as an avid fly fisherman, Dave spends most of his ice free seasons devoting intense research and development days to the rainbow trout of the Kamloops area lakes.
