Dry fly hooks

Dry Fly Hooks for Precision Fly Tying

Dry Fly Hooks are an essential component of every fly tyer's kit, especially when tying patterns designed to imitate mayflies, caddisflies and midges. These hooks are specifically designed for dry fly fishing — allowing your fly to sit naturally on the surface film to tempt rising trout and grayling.

Our barbless hooks come in a range of popular sizes, typically from size 12 to 18, covering the majority of classic dry fly patterns used throughout the season. Whether you're matching the hatch on a chalk stream or targeting wary fish on a stillwater, these hooks offer excellent presentation and hook penetration.

Lightweight for Superior Floatation

Featuring a fine wire construction hooks are intentionally lightweight to ensure your fly remains buoyant. Most patterns benefit from a straight shank design, which allows for clean, proportional fly bodies. However, we also stock strong hooks with standard wire diameter for specific patterns.

The hook point varies slightly by model — some feature a straight point for efficient hooking, while others use a slight upturn to help keep fish pinned during the fight. The eye of the hook is typically downturned for easier tying.

Constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant steel, our dry fly hooks are built to perform without compromising finesse. While they’re designed to resist rust, we always recommend drying your fly box thoroughly after each session to maintain hook sharpness and longevity.
