Suave Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Nice. As I knew nothing about this pattern, I went looking. Had a few hits and I understand this is a Ray Bergman pattern. But I'm curious about the hook: what is a return eye hook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linesidesonthefly Posted February 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Like old school salmon hooks where the eye is bent. Some call them looped eye hooks. The tying thread actually closes the hook.

Next couple I’ll used the called for Bronze Mallard.
