 hook and size 6 if tied on double hooks. Regarding the 

 patterns of flies, what is considered a good assortment is the

 Jock Scott, Silver Doctor and Childers. Nearly all salmon 

 anglers will agree that this assortment is all that will be 

 needed. In clear water use the smallest size of fly, and if the 

 fish do not rise to a large fly they may sometimes be taken 

 on a smaller one on the same pattern.
