Just saw this on a Facebook post. Great pics of MANY flies in a downloadable pdf file.

Re: Mustad Catalog of Flies
Nice. Where did you find this? I’d love to know the date of this. Alas not all of the flies listed are photographed, but hopefully somewhere there are more?
One of the flies listed is the Loves Lure. (302) It’s long been thought of as an NZ ‘native’ fly, but I have never been convinced. This document just adds weight to my suspicions it is an Old English pattern.... pity there isn’t a pic of it in the flies...

Re: Mustad Catalog of Flies
There's a fly on that list called Fenwick's Favorite. I wonder if there is any connection to the rod builders.
...
My mistake. It's Femwick's not Fenwick's.

I fish wet flies with faith and hope, faith that trout don't require exactitude and hope that when my time comes, God will explain why wet flies work...

Cool, I particularly like the Silver Bait Fluers.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Agreed:

But the hook perplexed me when I first saw it--as it looks like a pike hook Partridge used to make. But is clearly smaller.
Then--strangely enough--yesterday in an old Wheatley box I bought on eBay in England were two flies that had similar hooks:

They're about a size 14 as far as the bend size is concerned. I stripped one down for a better look, and it appears brazed, albeit rusted somewhat from age:

Does anyone have any idea who made this hook, and when?
