Quick take
Size 16 dry fly hooks for tying small imitations of mayflies and small insects.
The Umpqua U001 is a bronze dry fly hook with a down eye, standard-weight wire and a 1X long shank. This size 16 pack holds 50 barbed hooks, enough to tie a good batch of classic dry patterns. Fly tiers working mayfly and caddis imitations will find the shank length and wire weight a familiar fit.
