Hello, everyone!
I was just looking at my hook 'collection' and realized that many of the hooks I have come to love are not being produced any more. One such hook is the Mustad 80150BR - a Swimming Nymph hook with a 45 or 50* bend in the middle of the shank. This has proven unbelievably useful in my cased caddis pupae patterns. I'm curious if anyone knows of another hook manufacturer who still makes a similar, if not identical, hook. Just curious as I get my "year's end/ gift-money" order started for Line's End...
Hi Pete,
Daiichi has a "Swimming Nymph" hook that might do the trick. It's the model 1770 here:

I know Byard can get these for you.
Good luck on the job search. I trust things will work out for you.
