Dohiku specialises in premium fly-tying hooks and is particularly valued for the quality of its steel, its sharp points and its exceptional manufacturing and finishing standards.
At La Fine Mouche, we have selected the Dohiku models we consider most useful for covering the essentials of modern fly tying: dry flies, nymphs, Jig patterns, scuds, pupa patterns, streamers, stillwater flies and terrestrials. Our aim is not to offer every possible shape, but a balanced selection of reliable, complementary premium hooks.
The range is still fairly extensive, and some models may look similar at first glance. Yet the HDD 301, HDN 302, HDC 303 and the various HDG models have genuinely different shapes and applications.
In this guide, we have brought together all the Dohiku hooks available at La Fine Mouche to help you quickly choose the right model for the type of fly you want to tie.

There is no single Dohiku hook that truly does everything. The HDD 301 is naturally best suited to dry flies, the HDN 302 to classic nymphs, the HDJ to Jig nymphs and the various HDG models to curved patterns such as scuds and pupae.
That is exactly what we like about this range: each shape serves a clear purpose, allowing you to choose your hook to suit the pattern rather than trying to make the same model work in every situation.
Dohiku hooks firmly belong among the premium options we have chosen to offer at La Fine Mouche. Their sharpness, consistency and quality of finish make them particularly enjoyable to use, both at the vise and on the water.
If you are unsure which of two models to choose, the simplest approach is to start with the type of fly you want to tie and compare the shank shape, bend, gape and wire thickness. The table above should help you quickly find the most suitable model.
