    Default English make fly tying hooks...

    Does anyone know of a source for English made fly tying hooks?

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    Warren,

    Sprite closed its doors recently - and to my knowledge that was the last standing English hook making company.

    There were, maybe are, some plans to return Partridge hook making to the UK by the company owner - so who knows

    Cheers,
    Hans W

    Warren,
    Are you looking specifically for hooks manufactured in England or English style hooks which may be manufactured elsewhere?

    You mean, Partridge, Edgar Seeley, Bergman, Redditch or Allcocks?
