Rene, you can get the Daiichi Alec Jackson hooks, (although not blind eye), in size 1.5 or 3/0 from Byard at Line's End. The best deal is to get a box of 100. They're cheaper that way, about a buck apiece......$1.oo each. If you buy them in the 10 packs, they're more. They come in gold, silver, black, and blued-black. Actualy that's the 3/0 size. I think the 1.5 size only comes in black and blued-black. Check that with Byard. I mostly use the 3/0 size. Don't worry about using a blind eye hook if your having a hard time finding them. That's why i didn't make that mandatory. You can do that next year after you have found some or whatever. Actually you can get them from Ronn Lucas Sr. Go to FAOL and look up Dressing Atlantic Salmon Flies or whatever it is down at the bottom of the home page. Go there and email Ronn. He has the Heritage hooks. You can also get blind eye hooks from Roger Plourde. Or from Phil Castleman at Castle-Arms. They can be found on e-bay at times as well. As for colored hooks, Gamakatsu has them in size 1/0 and 2/0 in red, and blue. And they have their Octapus hooks which are not nessessarily a salmon hook, but which have a turned up eye, (i'll allow it), all they way up to size 5/0, and which come in even more colors.....green, purple, pink, yellow, orange, white. "Choices" mark.....

Mark List,
I'm having a hard time to get these fancy hooks I need for the Salmon swap. WHat I have so far is a source here, which seems to sell blind eye hooks in black, till size 0/5.
Where do you get these red, blue, golden Salmon hooks?
Rene
