Fraser river hooks
« on: September 13, 2010, 11:28:15 AM »
Funny I was thinking today I was interested to know what size and brand hooks people were using for sockeye on the Fraser. Saw a post today for Veddar. Wished it was for the Fraser. Anyway what size and brand of hook do you use on the Fraser for Sockeye. Thank you.

Was using 4/0, but switched to 2/0 after losing too many fish. Figured they could get off the larger hooks easier.
Saw a few people using what looked like circle hooks with a little notch on the outside, but not quite a barb, not sure what you would call them exactly.
