They were trout, haven't gotten into any bass or crappie with them yet. I thought I set the hook, I did the same i do with my regular fly hooks and no glory. The good thing is they were not huge fish but losing so many fish with them makes me wonder if I need to set them harder being they are longer tip hooks than I am used to.
Oh well, at least I know small jigs work almost as well to at least get bites and hook ups as regular flies even though I don't land as many with sickles.
I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
