All new to me. Want to try fly fishing the SR next year. So between now and the I will tie up a s***load of flies. Probably estaz egg patterns that I read so much about. Questions. A) What size hook and any particular style and B) What size estaz material? I see this sites' sponsor carries 2 sizes 1- reg. and 1- grande?

For fall I like size 6 sometimes 8's and Grande.  I think the regular does not plump out as good as the grande.   I have used Mustad 37132, 9174, CO68.   I have even used some Wal mart specials Octopus hooks I got for $2.  

I use a size 10 or 12 Mustad egg hook,super strong on the SR and have used the Grande but prefer the regular for egg imitation.Color is most important and you need a rainbow of colors as you never know what the color of the day is going to be.

pafisher is the master at having all the right flies in shapes, size and color..
as for estaz, there used to be such a thing as regular estaz.. Now it's all sorts of names so I really like to "look" at the material.. All Seasons in pulaski has every thing a tier could dream..
If I'm tying a buggy pattern such as wooly, the estaz grand in peakok works well.. Sometimes patterns such as a head of a scud the small estaz works..
Honestly it's tough ordering materials "on line"..
Hook sizes vary as well.. My smallest size 8 mustad might be a 10 in another brand..
For eggs , I try and stick to an 8 or 10 .. Tend to like egg yarn better though for eggs then estaz..
I  have used a 6 sucker spawn in fall & spring..
Welcome aboard..
Good folks here to share with..

don't forget to tie some black stone flies (and i always have luck with blue ones), also nuclear egg patterns and buggers

  Double bead headed stone is my go to fly especially early in the run. Black and then rootbeer colors

I had fantastic success using 1/0 for salmon this year.  Black absolutely slayed them in the lfz while pink was fantastic in the DSR. 

1/0 must be pushing the 1/2 inch gap regulation to its limit.
Don't have one bend out even the slightest or there is no doubt you could be budted.

1/0 looks to be just under a half inch.....Plus, mine were on red colored hooks.  I think the color contrast helped.

No comment on that!
