  13. if I can successfully wrap it on a hook and the fish takes it, its totally irrelevant which side of the stem it comes from
  14. No If you read the description of those hooks you bought they are 2 extra heavy and wouldn't be good for dries Mustad CO68 Signature fly tying hooks are commonly used to tie caddis and egg fly patterns. The CO68 fly hook has a curved shank, offset bend, bronzed finish, 2 extra heavy wire and 2 extra short shank. All of the Mustad Signature fly tying hooks are designed with consistent hook gap, bend, wire diameter and shank length for precise scaling and feature a chemically sharpened needle point with microbarb
