Bugger Glenn, in my earlier post I said wet fly hook and I knew it was dry but thought I must be mistaken after so many years. Same reason we used dry as you gave and its coming back to me now. Well, honestly, it may have been because I rarely had any #16 wet fly hooks back then.

Originally,the old style Pennsylvania style "Sucker Spawn " was tied on a regular dry fly hook. . Whatever you choose Joyce I prefer thin wire hooks as I have experience loosing to many fish from penetration problems because the diameter of the wire is to fat. All my under water flies I do much better with thin wire hooks .If you need the heavier hook to get the fly down I add weight to the fly or with and some nymphs and small trout wet flies I prefer to add split shot to my leader.

I'm trying to tie and use things I've not done before. I'll get some sucker spawn eggs done. Are you using a 2-3 x long wet fly hook or a scud/caddis type hook? Joyce
