Some really great answers to my tube fly question. But one open ended question keeps creeping in: choice of hook. Single straight eye, double or treble.

The hook while in the tube is in a good position to hook, yet during the fight it has 'close to the bend' degrees of freedom like a universal joint to prevent the frequent spitting out of the long stiff shanked hooks.
Many good short tube hooks to choose from too. Waters West in Port Angeles had a particularly good selection as did Avid Angler.
I used to use the TMC 105 in a size 4. Recently I switched over to the Daiichi X510 also in a size 4. It is very similar but it has a little more of curve to it and it is slightly heavier. I have not used it enough to form a solid opinion on it. If it would ever stop raining I'd fish enough to get an opinion! Will it ever stop? I've got cabin fever.
