Partridge of Redditch has been an innovator and technology leader in
the manufacture of hooks since its beginning at the turn of the
century, in those days the company manufactured for the top names in
the business like Forrest, Farlows, Hardy Bros., Ogden and more
recently Veniard. During the late nineteen-eighties and early-nineties
the managing director, Alan Bramley spent much of his time working
with the bright young talent of the day to create some of the most
advanced hook patterns that the industry has ever seen and many of
them, both patterns and fly fishermen are still around giving pleasure
and sharing their passion to today’s dynamic talent. Materials have
moved on in leaps and bounds and hook patterns too have evolved but
the art of fly tying remains one of the most rewarding past-times
around. This site is dedicated to the evolution of hooks and the
fishermen of the world who are the guardians of our precious water
resources.
