How do you decide which hook to use for which pattern? When I go online and look up a specific pattern, I think they each use a different hook. Is there a rule of thumb for selecting a hook to tie onto?
Ex. I am looking at Pheasant Tail patterns. Some say to use a 1x (tiemco 3769) length and some say to use a 2x (tiemco 5262)length and some say to use tiemco 2457 or 2487 scud type hook.
I guess everyone has an opinion on what to use.
Which hooks do you use for:
nymphs
streamers
dry fly
What sizes do you have in each type?
