There aren't many good reviews on fly-fishing hooks, which is a surprise given how important they are to the pursuit of trout. The choice is bewildering and getting ever more technical each year. The right choice of hook can be the difference between a lost fish and one in the net. Weight, wire strength and bend resistance, hook shape, gape size, type of bend affecting the entry angle, barb size or barb-less, angle of the eye - there are many variables to consider. I have started a catalogue and some thoughts on some of the hooks that I have used.
