You can tie them on a regular nymph hook, but like you, I like the wider gap.
I use ABI hooks. They are so darn sharp. And I use a #12 to a #16 depending on water and time of year, but don't be afraid to go bigger than what is present. Sometimes they are looking for that pounder instead of the 1/4.
That bottom fly is a before and after. My transformers. The top is dry, the bottom wet. It is red silk thread over burgundy tying thread. Great effect.
