Umpqua Two Bit Hooker

Ah…the Two Bit Hooker.  This is one of my favorite patterns ever and I can honestly say it’s one found on the end of my tippet most days.  I just don’t fish without it.  I love to fish it, and it was designed to be fished, on a dropper under a dry fly, but I also use it in a two fly rig when I have to get dirty.

My favorite versions are a size 14 red tied with 3/32″ tungsten beads and a black size 18 tied with 1/16″ tung beads.  The dark olive is a huge seller as is the brown version and the new color additions of both pink and purple have been deadly.  The short answer is; you can’t really go wrong with a Two Bit.
