Helping to eliminate foul hookups in the tongue, close to the gills or the gills themselves. This means more fish friendly hook ups. Also, thanks to the bulky dubbing mess at the head of the fly the tinny teeth of our anadromous fish get caught\/tangled much like velcro. This just means the fly may not be so easily spit out, giving you more time to react and set the hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd don't be afraid to strip or swing these flies for big trout in places like Montana or Alaska\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aqua Flies","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Blue","offer_id":59649180434718,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":59661385695518,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink\/Orange","offer_id":59661385728286,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/1332\/7646\/files\/12320dirtyhohsteelheadblkblu.jpg?v=1714074578","url":"https:\/\/waterswest.com\/products\/dirty-hoh","provider":"Waters West Fly Fishing Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
