I most definitely wish to see the exact hook brand and specs on a fly! Most Most definitely. I am literal I guess. I am a rookie fly tying person and always be a rookie. I do not KNOW hooks all that well. I HAVE to look them up to see if I am using the right hook. I more than likely will have the hook specified in the SBS. Many hooks are different even if they have the same description. But I think it is on the individual tying a fly to get things right for his fly. Just like when assembling the proper MATERIAL to tie the fly. It can't get any more specific and definite as to what hook to use when the exact brand, size, and THEIR hook designation or item number is posted. Just my opinion, it's the only one I am an expert on...grin. Surely must be others out there that feel the same way. I may be weird, but doubt that I am that unique......

ScottP thanks for the hook chart.
