Thanks guys. Hank, I am reading the link you provided earlier. There is a lot more than a few paragraphs there. I am seeing more hooks, and many I have...like the 3399A and the 3906B etc... I thankfully use Open Office Writer, and I am making a file on this as I go along reading what people say. It can be overwhelming, for sure. I want to get these hooks in one localized area, now that I know which would be preferable. Mark, I found on Gamakatsu's website last night, a hook comparable chart.

It is supreme. I already jotted down a couple of hooks I want to try in the future. I scanned that list, and realized I have more Gamakatsu hooks than I had thought. I have to have a solid method to this madness. That is the problem when you tye just about every kind of fly there is....a whole plastic tub full of hooks....rotflmbo. I do have a few Allen hooks too. Justin sent me a sample pack a long time ago. I thought I might be able to squeeze these spider, soft hackle, flymph hooks in one box....now it seems I may not. It may take TWO large hook boxes to get these in....lol. That is okay, as I have two that should hold EVERYTHING. I would like to see these two threads...mine, and Hank's moved to, or at least LINK TO, the Hook reference page. That would be AWESOME.
You know what else. I had a hook file that I made about two years ago. I had most all of my hooks on there. Then if I needed some, I would know which size, because I would type...need hook size 12 or whatever. I'd show say Mustad 3906B have size 16,14, 12 need size 10..................
But since then I had trouble with my computer, and had to reformat. This is what happens when you are in the OFC, you forget things. Now I need to get that list, and update it too. I am going to do that after I decide how I am going to arrange my hooks in boxes. I seriously have a tub of hooks. Not to the top of course, but that sucker is heavy. Many of those hooks are classics I bought off Ebay at one time or another.
