Stan,

I really appreciate your succinct summary of hookology (hookism? hookishness?)

At any rate, for no rational reason, I've decided to tie a pattern that is
calling for a
Partridge Nymph/emerger GRS12ST in sizes 2 through 4 (although smaller is ok
as far as I'm concerned)
See http://globalflyfisher.com/tiebetter/hooks/nymph_em.htm

Can you (or anyone out there) suggest
(a) a substitute for this hook (I'm sort of leaning towards a TMC 200R I
believe...
based only on what I've seen in pictures)
or
(b) a source for these exact hooks?

Thanks for any and all suggestions!
