I have been using hooks from Wholesaleflycopoany.com. They seems to be the
equivalent of Dai Riki. usually $7.00/1000

During this last year I have probably tied more flys (most I will probably
never use) than since we used to have several swaps going at one time.Anyway, I
love the hooks from Green Caddis Outfitters. And the price is pretty good
too. https://gcoutfitters.com/
I've done a bit of fishing lately. Caught several using a Pink Squirrel most
of the time. After my hernia surgery, my Dr. said: "Don't go near any water
except a shower for the next two weeks." That ban ended two weeks ago. Now all
I have to do for the next three weeks is avoid catching a fish that weighs more
than 10 lbs. I think I can manage that. LOL My latest learning adventure in
fly tying is with the Kebari style. They area Japanese creation. A soft hackle
fly with the cone facing
forward.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTTVg3wKZ5A&authuser=0
And I'm trying Tenkara fly fishing. Which is very similar to Euro Nymphing.
If you are a KISS type of person, Tenkara fly fishing is about as simple as it
gets. A lot of the streams here in the DriftlessArea of Southwest WI,
Southeast MN, and Northeast IA are not very friendly to long back casts, or
even short ones. You get pretty good at roll casting. But in some spots that
won't work either. So any method that "keeps my fly in or on the water,
because there are no fish in the air", is worth trying. Plus it gives me an
excuse for buying another fly rod. LOL.
