Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

Kurt's comment in a recent thread suggested this post to me. I'll start with the Partridge Surehold Lightening Dry, a barbless hook that has performed well for me. Do others have a favorite hook that holds well?

Another hook that has performed very well for me is the Tiemco 921. I've always pinched down the barb on this one, and don't recall having a fish shake one ever.
