salmon fly size

[Michael Roberts]

Hello Group,
I've got some fully dressed salmon flies I plan to sell on ebay. If I lay a
ruler over the hook, it measures 37mm. from the eye of the hook to end of
the curve at the back of the hook or 28mm from the eye of the hook to the
tip of the hook . Can you please tell me what size the hook is?

Salmon hooks are traditionally measured from the bottom of the bend.
Assuming the hook is a single, a hook measuring 37mm from the the bottom
of the bend to the eye is a 1/0 hook. 2/0 is 40mm and 3/0 is 43mm.
