Hi Phil,
Well if you are geared up and ready to go, then I think we should! I don't really want to mention water names as a lot of fish have been taken for the pot, although we are getting on top of the situation on one of the waters. I hope you understand.
As for hooks, a lot depends on the fly I am using. The last llot of flies I tied, which are designed to run shallow, use a Mustard Stinger Bass hook in about a size 1/0. These are around 5 inches long, lightly dressed and nice and easier to cast.
At the other end of the spectrum I use Sakuma Mantra hooks up to size 6/0. These are a good quality sea hook but with a nice wide gape so ideal for flies that are very bulky. On these I dress things that contain a lot of Schlappan, marabou and bucktail.
Bunny Leeches are tied on Partridge As Swier hooks, the old style, not the new Absolutes. I do have these but I find they are terrible hookers.
Lastly, I have started to tie on tubes nowas I think that the big hooks I use in flies damage smaller fish. With the tubes I can drop hook size downs to 2's and 4' and even smaller without losing fly size. The flies are a bit lighter too.
