Hi John, yes I believe its that hook. It is a gray shadow hook because its slippery enough to tie on. Please wait till I get home from work to check on the actual number. I'll let you know if my memory is wrong. All the best Graeme.

They are a little on the big side. I have them down to size 18, and would appreciate the contact info. for a supplier. Do they make this particular hook in smaller sizes? I have tried bending hooks with varying degrees of success. Some fly tyers recomend heating the hook before bending. I have not tried this. I find if I use needle nose pliers and do not stress the hook too much I can induce a reasonable bend. I much prefer manufactured hooks and the Partridge hooks you mention are the perfect shape. I know the original fly was designed to be on a large hook. My requirements are for a smaller hook.

Quick question about these flies. Are you using Partridge's Klinkhammer hooks or are you bending a standard type hook? My local shop has had a great deal of difficulty locating a supplier who stocks the Klinkhammer hooks, so I'm thinking of bending some up myself, but I don't know how to ensure that this doesn't screw with the temper of the hook too much.
