I was wondering if I can get them here. Our local shop started to carry Gamakatsu, therefore I'm wondering if the Gamakatsu hooks might fit.

Rene,
You may be referring to Alec Jackson Hooks. They are made by Daiichi. Line's End carries them. See the link below. Because there is no photo of the hooks, below that link is another link which shows what the hooks look like and has color photographs.

Mark, these Gamakatsu hooks, are this 'Salmon hooks' or just huge coloured hooks? Rene

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.....
