For Mark: I crossed the border and picked up the hooks today. Monday was a statutory holiday in BC and border traffic would have been heavy over the entire long weekend and so I waited until today. The size 12 tinned Gamakatsus are the smallest saltwater fly hook I have found to date. I think that I prefer tinned to satinless steel. I'm not sure how long it takes to break down in salt water. Anyhow, I suspect that I am now probably a bit too late to fish the beaches for pink salmon this year, as I suspect that most have entered the rivers by now, but I will check my local river. Thank you very much. Is there anything I can send you in return? Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B. C. Canada _____
