Baetis 500BL Midge Dry Fly Hook

As many of you know, the smaller you go with hooks, tippet, rod weights etc… the smaller the margin for error. We’re on a constant search for the strongest small hooks we can find and trying to find a strong, small, light wire dry fly hook is a particular challenge. These hooks from Baetis, of Spain, are sticky and relatively strong for being so light. They’re a good choice for tying small mayflies and midges. Great, also, for flies like the Klinkhammer, Smoke Jumper and Shuttlecock.

– light wire 

– exaggerated Klinkhammer geometry  

Measured total hook lengths are:

• #16 = 7.7 mm
