Howdy, Interesting topic. My question is ... when the "Classic" flies were tied what did the hooks look like at that time in history? Colo(u)r, size etc.

Man, ... you guys sure set the bar high (upper stratosphere), from the newbie point of view. Reckon I'm gonna have ta get busy when I get some stuff to start tying with. Gonna wait till I get back to Utah and get my life back on track. Shouldn't be to long now.
