Default When do you need a hood?

How do you decide when you need to put a hood on a lens? I've read that
a hood is supposed to prevent flare, but what are likely conditions for
flare to appear? What does it depend on - the focal length, the angle
between you subject and the light, filters used, anything else?
I even made a dozen or so test shots, and a hood seems to make no
difference. Considering that it's bulky and very inconvenient, I'd
rather not use it unless it makes my pictures better.


Any time a lens is mounted on your camera.
