| YORKSHIRE FLY BODY HOOKS
Special dry fly hook developed with Peter Mackenzie-Philips in
the 1970s. Bronze finish. |
 |
|
Peter MacKenzie-Philips started his fly fishing
business on the success of the Yorkshire Fly Body hooks. They captured
the imagination of the fly tyers throughout the world and gave Peter
a boost in 1973.
Slowly they lost their initial impact and it was not until they
were slightly redesigned in 1991 that they became somewhat popular
again. The redesign incorporated a larger hook which made it easier
to hook and hold a fish. The Fly Body hooks are best used for upwinged
dry flies or for hooked patterns.
The Yorkshire Fly Body hook will enable you to
tie better balanced dry flies, with a better chance of hiding the
hook.

| Dressing flies
on Fly Body hooks is a two stage operation. Put the hook in the vice
with the eye to the left. Start the thread on the point of the body,
and tie in the tails and body materials. Complete the body, working
to the left, until the top of the shank is reached, tie a half-hitch
and then take the hook out of the vice. Put the hook into the vice
with the eye pointing to the right, and complete the fly in the normal
way. |

NYMPH FLY HOOKS
The following section shows you the different ranges
of Partridge fly hooks for all types of nymph, shrimp, scud, grub,
corixa and beetle patterns for trout and grayling. Some of the ranges
can be used for wet fly patterns and for shorter traditional streamer
and attractor flies. Many standard dry fly hooks and wet fly hooks
are often suitable for nymph patterns. You should therefore check
hooks shown under the sections for Dry Fly and Wet Fly hooks as
well.
We recommend beginners use the L2A Captain Hamilton
wet fly hooks for shorternymph patterns, the H1A Captain Hamilton
Nymph hooks for medium length nymph patterns and the K4A John Veniard
Grub/Shrimp hooks for curved body imitations.
