Anyone here tie Carrie Stevens patterns? *Where do you get the hooks?
Frank Reid


you already got links to the two sources I am aware of.
And, to differ with Kevin, the hooks she used serve a mechanical purpose on
the waters she designed them for, that a tube fly wouldn't duplicate. Not to
say that his suggestion would or wouldn't fish more successfully, it would
just behave differently.

One of the reasons that the 10X is use is getting the fly down. I
just wanted to try this without going to a shorter hook and adding
weight. I do have a first edition, self-published copy of Streamer
Flies for Trolling and Casting (now called volume one) by Mike
Martinek and wanted to try some of the flies.
