I have been doing a fair bit of fishing on the Campbell River and have been making my own flies, so far i have had some good success with them. I have been making them on #6 dry fly hooks, i also seem to lose a large number of pinks, i don't think setting the hook is a big issue here, nor is foul hooking, but when i loose them, we usually have a good couple minute battle on average then just out of nowhere, i lose them, when i look around i see plenty of people that get a fish on and just reel with a larger hook, like good sized spoon hook, they don't let the fish run or nothing, and they seem to land them more often then me, so i started to wonder if my fly's are too small. I reading a article stating to use hook sizes 6 - 2, i wonder if i should go bigger?
