    Scott, I generally tie this fly on the 3906B or an equivalent. I am just curious for historical reasons. The hooks pictured in the kit look to be Mustad 3906 or similar.

    Hi Bob, Unfortunately the R70 was discontinued long ago. Mustad did not keep that model around for long. I still have a few of these in different sizes but they are running low.
