It's that which got me into scrapbooking which lead to an entire room of materials. I like my Disney pin board. Small, hangs on the wall and there is a story behind most of the pins

Fish hooks?  That's kind of a weird thing.  How many kinds are there?  Do you have a pic of your collection?

Not really a collection per se, but whenever I catch a big one, I save the hook and mount it on a corkboard in my garage

That's weird. Fishermen usually collect lures.

Or flies, depending on the type of fisherman.

That might be what I meant. I honestly don't know the difference. I'm thinking the feathery thing that goes on the hook.

Hooks are pretty much just the basic metal hook. Flies is probably what you meant. A lot of fly fishermen, at least the really devoted ones, pianstakingly tie their own flies. They have different flies for different types of fly fishing, different times of year, etc...  There are also people who collect fishing lures, which are different than flies in design and construction, though I've seen lures that were obviously based off a fly design.

A couple of images to show the difference:

Flies, used for fly fishing trout. Designed to realistically resemble a tasty insect,
because trout are smarter than other fish.


Lures, used for catching bass and other stupid fish who think
"ooh, the pretty colors are moving...chomp"

Compared to most fresh water fish, trout aren't the least intelligent, however the saltwater trout is very stupid compared to say a redfish or a snook.  A saltwater trout will bite on pretty much anything, while the other game flats fish are a little more skittish.

I would think the freshwater trout is the same, but I have never fished them...we only get saltwater trout in my part of FL.

'stroke, you're right. I was thinking of flies. Either way, I don't see why anyone would collect just the hook. That's weird.
