I just finished checking out all of my hooks and after loking at around a hundred packages to see what was needed I found that I only really needed to replace some in four basic styles. All of the rest had plenty left. I need more basic dry fly hooks in several several sizes as well as some small streamer and nymph hooks and a few wet fly hooks for soft hackles. I have a lot of packages with only a few hooks out of them. I concluded that I have tried tying a lot of fly patterns but usually fish simple flies tied on standard hooks. My question is why does my hook order still include a couple packages of specialty hooks I don't allready have ? This can't be normal.
