I have begun over the last year or so to tie almost all my nymphs and
some wet flies on curved hooks (i.e. caddis hooks). To me, a nymph
adrift is seldom straight but is wiggling, trying to swim etc. and has
therefore a curved appearance (unless it's dead). Does anybody else tie
nymphs on curved hooks and/or what is your take on this?

I always tie nymphs and caddis larvae on various types of curved hooks. I
agree that they look more "real" than those tied on a dead straight shank...
