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.       Glenn Overton

Once again, thanks to  all. 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
