Lovely wee dressing. Is that a Firehole hook?

I agree about Firehole hooks. I've been using them for a while, maybe a year and a half, and am quite pleased with them. I think their sizing is a bit off, but usually err on the side of wider hook gape, which is okay by me.

They are an OK hook brand. For me wholesale fly hooks at around $7/100 has double the quality at a third of the price ........ I have no vested interest, just my humble opinion.......
