Attempting to tie some steelhead flys this year looking for info on hook sizes for egg patterns and marabous
Any help is appreciated
Hooks, personal preference:
egg patterns - daichii 1650 size 10, tmc 105 size 8, 10, tmc 2488H size12,14
nymphs - tmc 5262, 2x strong, 2x long, size 8, 10, 12
buggers - tmc 700, size 6, 8, 10
streamers - tmc 300, size 6, 8
tube flies - daichii 1650, tmc 105, size 6, 8
Mustad signature series also are good. Tiemco, Daiichi, and Mustad signature are all quality steelhead hooks. Hope this helps.
