Good morning all,
I am wondering if any of you have any input as to where to start your tip and tag on #1 Dave McNeese, Blue Heron Spey Hook? I am just starting to tie up some steelhead flies on these larger irons and I started my tip just slightly back from the hook point. My tips, tags and butts look balanced this way, along with my GP crest tails; however, I do know that different hooks have different geometries and therefore require you to shift your tip, and subsequent tag and butt locations. Any advice is greatly appreciated as well as pictures maybe showing how the shift in the location either balances or unbalances the design of your flee. Thanks again.
