That's pretty close. The only difference is the bend that becomes the
barb is very abrupt, not as continuous. But I'm sure that hook would
work just fine.

The 37160 Mustad and the Owner look just like a Yorkshire Sedge hook.

I just checked my new Cabela's flyfishing catalog and they list the
Mustad
37160 in sizes 1 through 20. Sure looks like the one in the photo.
They show a SJW on a 37160, one like in your photo, and also a
bloodworm on
a bend-back style hook. They don't list the 2nd hook style in the
hook
section, and neither does The Fly Shop in Redding.
It's similar to the Tiemco TMC 411S, which is a saltwater hook. Maybe
Paul
or someone else has a line on it.
BTW, if you don't get the catalog from The Fly Shop in Redding, CA,
you
should. It's a great catalog and every year it's published with
up-to-date
applications and patterns using almost all of the new materials
available,
plus all the new gear and gadgets. www.theflyshop.com No
affiliation- I
just like their catalog- and it's free.

Tom, although it's not 100% clear from the photo, it looks like the
common "English Bait Hook" style. This is a Mustad 37160, available
in
sizes 2 - 12. Smaller sizes, 10 - 16, are available in Talon
TA-SH2200,
and Tiemco TMC 205BL (if you can find these as they don't seem to be
on
the Umpqua website); and likely others.
Cheers,
Paul
