After testing dozens of different hook designs over the last 8 years, I have found one that is perfect for Pyramid Lake midge flies. The Lahontan Midge hook has a slick, anti-glare finish, super sharp claw point, straight shank, down eye and heavy wire. My goal with releasing this hook to the public is to give those of you who tie your own flies a chance to use a hook that you can have total confidence in without the trial and error I’ve gone through to decide this is the one.
When fishing long hours watching a bobber at Pyramid Lake, you should have a hook that will consistently stick when a huge trout eats it. This midge hook is strong enough that it will never bend out on with 1x tippet, even on a 20lb Pilot Peak strain fish. The Lahontan Midge has the perfect ratio of shank and gap that grabs securely on the upper lip of the fish over 10lbs. My standard midge patterns are tied on the size 10 and I highly recommend that size.
