I hope this is close enuff to topic... I like to make things and I attempted rather successfully I think making hooks from beech twigs which are shaped about right at a fork on the limb and adding a bit of bone found in owl dropings. The bone can be drilled awl like in to the forked twigg, and lashed with any number of coradges. I use my hair.<br><br>Now I don't know how a fish sees this hook exactly, but I think the bone must be seen as some sort of larve, as this works on the trout here. Basicly this is what a steel hook is, but made from what I find in the woods alone....<br>i guess it would work for some as a last resort to catching a fish, but for me it is fun.....Mac
