Hi Dave V
99% of my hooks are Mustad....I have a few Partridge low water hooks
and a couple of boxes of Orvis dry fly hooks(small things).

By small things are you refering to trout flies Stephen ?

Hi Dave V
Some 10's and 16's for trout dry flies
I think the box of 16's still has 96 or 97 hooks left in it.

Just so you know, the best Brook Trout I ever caught (about 4 lbs) was on a size 18 or 20 Pheasent Tail Nymph. So big flies don't always catch big fish, small flies do.

As far as hook size I have seen some nice fish caught on size 20 and 22 hooks. Makes you wonder How a fish can pick up that tiny fly in a ripple but they do.
I like to use Tiemco for dries and emergers and Mustad for nymphs and streamers . How about you?
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.
