Hawthorns make a nice little hook, whittled bits of wood and thorns tied with split spruce roots are another. It was only a few hours tuition, and I've not kept up the practice, I would have to practice a lot more to be sure of having a totaly secure and workable hook. They can be tricky with my butterfingers!
Then there are the simple sharpened stick type.... i think they are called gorge hooks?
Haven't tested them , as I don't have a fishing licence.
Caveman Cody on YT does a good video tutorial. I used split spruce roots, but I guess you could use a fine nettle cordage or parracord inner, depending on the size of hook you were making.
