    Default Hilton Variations.....???

    Jason,.... Good looking designs (as far as I can see 'em). If I might suggest, you could reduce the shadow affect by taking the pictures against a white background with strong lighting from two directional sources....

    Jason, what are the gold colored hooks you're using?
    Steelhead gear = $6287, no of adults caught = 3, amortized cost = $2,095.67, beaching that 30" fish and letting it go = priceless

    Default Alec Jackson Spey Hooks.....

    WOW!!!! Not sure I'd put anything I tied on one of those hooks in the water.... They're much too expensive ; not to mention usable for display flies....

    I'd probably have to go swimmin' after a fish if I broke one off.
