fly fishing hooks

The best fly fishing hooks depend on the type of fly and species you are targeting. Dry fly hooks, streamer hooks, nymph hooks, and jig hooks are all designed for different fly fishing applications.

Barbless fly fishing hooks are easier to remove and are required in many catch-and-release fisheries on Vancouver Island and throughout British Columbia. Barbed hooks may provide additional holding power but are restricted in some waters.

Fly fishing hook sizes vary depending on the target species and fly pattern. Smaller hooks are commonly used for trout and dry flies, while larger hooks are often used for streamers, salmon, and steelhead flies.

The Harbour Chandler carries a selection of fly tying hooks for trout, salmon, steelhead, and saltwater fly fishing applications, including dry fly, streamer, jig, and wet fly hooks.

Jig hooks are commonly used for modern nymphing and streamer patterns. Their shape helps flies ride hook-point up, which can reduce snags and improve hook sets in rivers and streams.
