Fly hooks question

[oholi]

I was wondering, what are the most popular hooks among fellow anglers?

Which brand, model and size?
If possible anyone who wants to participate can add his vote for:

1 trout and grayling fly hooks
2 warm water fly hooks (pike or something else)
3 salmon fly hooks

Just answer simply

"1. Tiemco 2312 size 12 for dries, dohiku J for nymphs sizes 12 to 18, and dohiku 302 sizes 18 to 12 for wet
2. Gamakatsu model xxxx sizes 1 to 1\0
3. I dont fish for salmon"

This is just an example


Thanks everyone for participating

Too many out there for me to answer that one, or three as the case may be.
I use many sizes and styles as my fishing is radically varied.
The favourites of others could help me as well though as I am just starting to tie for pike.

Well, my intention is to see your favourites... there are too many... but which ones you like to use most...?

For streamers, I use TMC 9394/9395 quite a bit.

For Salmon and steelhead if I want a heavy hook I use the Gamakatsu T10-6H or the Daiichi 2441 in sizes 6-2.
If I want a lighter wire hook for some reason I'll use the Daiichi 2421 or Tiemco 7999
If I'm just tying a fly for display or as a gift I'll use a Alex Jackson Spey hook size 3-7

Just to many to list for other species it's 5 am LOL

Salmon /steelhead I use AJ #1.5 to #7 , TMC 700 #1 to #3, Partridge MV Bomber return eye #1, or mustad 9002 #1 or #2.
Everything else is either Mustad, Diaichi, Tiemco, or Hanak, depending on what and how i tie them.

Thank you for your replies.

Well I use Tiemco 95% of the time for trout, saltwater and salmon. Steelhead I use mainly Diachii unless it’s a stinger, then I find any longer hook just for the shank.

about 90% of my hooks are Mustad and sizes 6 to 16 any smaller and I cannot see them I use all the types of hooks they supply Nymph thru Streamer and scud bend

I am looking for the strongest chironomid and wide-gape jig hooks out there in the smaller sizes (Sz. 18 and 20). I currently use the Sierra 2302 and Tiemco 200r / Maruto C40hw for chironomids and Sierra 400BL WG and 451BL jig hooks. The Orient Sun 4640 is the strongest I have found but the gape is narrow compared to the WGs. Any suggestions?

PS. Daryl at Troutbum.ca is my supplier.
