I hate to talk about another forum but I have to believe that some of us bounce around to the different fishing forums that are available. So here is the heads up. I just tried to long onto the Alberta Fly Fishing Forum and my computer blocked me and gave me the notice that visiting this website my harm my computer. Don't know if anyone else has had this problem or if the website got hacked. But just to let people know. Jacobin

Trailhead and Flytyer, Thank you both. I realized after getting your responses how foolish I had been . I went back to look at the hooks I had bought and then made another trip to the Fishing Hole to pick up the proper size range for the various hooks I had bought. I know have Mustad 3399 in 10+12+16 94845 in 10+14 Thanks again for your responses and helping a newbie out. Much appreciated

Sorry, forgot about that. They were all Mustad hooks. I remember reading about hook size variance between companies that's why I only bought Mustad hooks.

I am brand new to fly tying and thought I could figure things out, however, I went out this weekend to buy dry fly hooks to tie a stimulator pattern. I bought hooks in sizes 10-14, the size 12 pack was barbless but the other two were not. When I got home and opened them up the size 12 seems to be about the size of the 10's and the 14's look really small comparatively. So my question is, is this normal or did I do something wrong? I see patterns in books and online and they just say size 10 dry fly without any additional info. But looking at the hooks I bought there seems to be a big difference in the hooks. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jac
