Hook Sets: The Differences for Dry Flies, Nymphs, Streamers, and Wets

Producer: Troutbitten

“Setting the hook is the most exciting part of the day. For all the time we spend planning, prepping, wading, tying, casting and drifting, it’s all in anticipation of that brief moment when a trout eats the fly. You fooled a trout. So don’t screw it up. That’s why the hook set matters most. And planning for the hook set, thinking about how a trout might eat the fly and how we will respond, makes all the difference.”
