Default Tying Nymphs - curved or straight hooks?


"Karel" wrote in message
...

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've not tied too many nymphs in my time. I imagine it would depend on the
type of nymph pattern one is tying, however, I think the next ones I tie,
depending on the type of course, will be tied on curved hooks.
