What have you tied today?

Was going to buy soom Klink hooks tomorrow so what's the best size for Scottish Rivers folks?

That depends on which brand of hook, Stuart.
Partridge klinkhamer hooks are huge and their sizes bear no relation to say Kamasans. Bear that in mind if you are ordering some.

For more normally proportioned hooks, I'd say sizes 16 and 14 for representing olives and a 12 for March browns and yellow May duns.

 I thought I'd try a traditional slant and tie a cdc greenwell.  This fly did well for me last year and the year before when a lot failed. Just goes to show the old timers had something when they combined cobblers wax and yellow thread.

Quill bodies are the dogs bol*ocks. I am sure the trout think so as well.
