What DG said.
To elaborate, I've got an inventory based on several types of hooks from one company ( Dai-Riki ). Dry fly hooks, scud / emerger hooks, streamer hooks, hopper hooks, etc. And the variety of sizes in each of those types of hooks to tie what I want to fish.
Those hooks will accomodate virturally any pattern / recipe that I run across that I want to try. Maybe its not a problem because I don't find many new patterns that strike me as better than the ones I've been using.

The fish are always right.
