B980 or even 982 (heavier wire, sinks faster) size 6 goes in the gauge.

Apart from the Partridge Big Mouth Nymph, which IMO is the best for blobs, there is another hook that does the job admirably and is not a fly tying hook. Look in your tackle shop for HIRO RO BASIC CHINU RING B MOD P27 No.4 Art. 4663. These are coarse angling hooks and have a gape similar to that of the Partridge at half the cost. Good wire strength and black japanned as well, if you don't like shiny hooks.
