Oh, my dear friend, such a dilemma... Please, set back, enjoy a nice Burgundy, and let me help. With your chaotic schedule, and the pressures placed upon you by such a demanding position, I "Must" offer to help you out. Please, throw them all in a box and send them to me, along with a list of your favorite flies. I will sort out "Only" the hooks you need, and discard the rest for you...;-). That way you will not have such decisions and pressures on your life, you can simply pull a hook and tie a fly without such cumbersome decisions. I "Will" make sure they are put to proper use.........8^0 If "I" only had such a dilemma.... Jimi I know this is an oldie but I am trying to sort out thousands of hooks and my hook gauge isn't working per the bend/gap/shank ratios. Yes, I know we now have wide gap(e) and all the combinations but how do you sort into a mere 80 bins over 100 variations unless they are distinctively different? What do I do when a #10 standard dry from company X is the same as a #12 from company Y and both companies are considered respectable? Then there is z X short versus w X long plus wire guage and so many variations that I am lost on just the basics. Do I take an old standby like Mustand to determine my standard or go the other way around the globe? Let's see... add barbless and you double the variation, wet versus nymph can equal the same hook except... and we bend them to get scud, stonefly, swimming nymph.... Arghhhhh! Advice... ANYBODY!
