Sort of looks like those Firehole hook are closer to a 14 than a 20. No idea why Firehole went that way. That being said, I kind of like their hooks.DUBBN wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 9:25 amRon, I dont know that Firehole makes their hooks that small. I am glad you picked up on the size difference.Ron Eagle Elk wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 8:35 am I like the look of the black hook as well, on this pattern. To get close to what most would call a size 20, what size Firehole hook would you have to use?

I agree with REE about the Firesticks... I just don't buy them online unless I know the actual sizes.. But what I really want to know is the recipe for those baetis nymphs. They are beauts...
