Cross referencing hook types

[Coach Robb]

I was interested in a fly that Roger Stouff uses for breem. The jitterbee. I E-mailed him and he directed me to a place where I could find the recipe.I went to a local fly shop and asked for that brand and model # hook. They didn't carry that so I asked if Mustad, TMC, or Gamakatsu would carry a similar style. The 17 year old shrugged and said "Idunno". I asked if there was a hook reference guide with cross references between manufacturers. From the glazed look on his face I knew I'd ventured into the non-comprehension zone. Any help out there Thank you. (This was Gander Mt. usually pretty helpful)

Coach: Stackpole Books has published a book on the subject: "Hooks For the Fly" by William E. Schmidt.
I believe its currently available.

Coach,
sjh is correct. I bought that book at Border's Books several months ago.

What hook are you trying to cross reference?

Hi Coach,
In addition to the suggested book which is a good one, you might want to have a look at the mustad hook comparison chart that is on line at kilroy's. Web addy is:

You will find comparisons for most other brands there too. It is a good thing to print out and keep at your tying desk. Have fun!

Coach Robb,
Check your email. I sent you a table I put together that includes Mustad, Eagle Claw, Daiichi, DaiRiki, and Tiemco hooks.

Hook and Hackle also has one, but I'm not sure if it's as comprehensive as the other one listed:
