Hans Meets an Atlantic Salmon
Hans Meets a Steelhead
Meet Hans’ new Klinkhamer hook Daiichi 1160, Daiichi 1167.
Hans van Klinken shows off his smile and a beautiful Atlantic salmon caught this fall. Hans worked with us and Daiichi to invent the 1160/1167 Klinkhamer hook to tie his famous pattern on. It looks like a successful pattern!

See the “Egg-Citement hook by the Bristol Hills Guys.
Kevin Casey says, “The secret is in the small hooks. These other guys are using these huge flies with no luck and I’m landing these Salmon on a size 6! Daiichi hooks have the holding power of a pit-bull.” Kevin and his father Dennis caught and released these monsters on the Salmon River near Pulaski, NY. Kevin, a guide with Bristol Hills Outfitters, says “I love Daiichi hooks because only your line should straighten out”.
Thanks again, Kevin!
Elk Creek Meets Electra
Elk Creek Meets Electa
Here`s a nice letter we got that might make someone jealous. I have taken Electa, my wife, Steelhead fishing twice now. I only use Daiichi hooks on my flies. Here is one of the nicer Steelhead that she caught with them. She caught this and a few others on the Elk Creek in PA with 1530 #12 Scrambled egg patterns. Thank you for your product.

Our Argentinian Distributor, Claudio Porcille sent us this photo taken in Tierra Del Fuego of a “11KG Trout Brown” (as he described it). The lodge it was caught out of is called Estancia Aurelia. The angler`s name is Daniel Sacharco. This monster was landed on a fly called the “Aurelia Prince” (shown) which was tied on a Daichi 1530 size 8 by Jose “Pepe” Borzi. We did the math on 11KG. That fish is over 24 pounds! Daniel looks like a pretty big man too, but his hands look tiny holding this beauty. Buenos Noches Daniel Sacharco!
Beautiful New Year Brookie

Matt Supinski is a Steelhead Master. However, He is by no means a one-dimensional fly fisher. Matt was traveling through Pennsylvania early in the new year and he took advantage of the mild weather the North East has had. He caught this gorgeous Brookie on a “Pheasant-tail Big Spring Midge” tied on a Daiichi 1120-24 hook with 8X tippet.
Happy New Year Matt!
Another Typical day at the office for the Bristol Hills Boys
Kevin Casey of Bristol Hills Outfitters wrote us again… Hey guys, thought I would share some more photos with you. All fish caught and released on a size 10 Daiichi X510 Estaz fly. Not a bad morning! Only fished for 3 hours we were able to play and land 3 steelhead and over 20 Salmon. If you would like I can send you photos of the fly used. Let me know. All fish were caught at Oak Orchard Creek.
Well Kevin, Not a bad morning INDEED! See Kevin`s fly (the “Egg-Citement”).

Thought I`d share this steelhead pic, I saw your ad in flyfishing & tying journal. I`m not a skeptic, I`ve used your hooks for the past four years.
Thanks, James Snyder

A member of our Daiichi Pro-staff from Maine, Gray Wolf, sent us this photo of 5 of his “Gray Wolf`s Llama Hair Bleeding Smelt”. These flies are tied on the full size range of the Daiichi 2370 7X-Long Streamer Hook designed by Dick Talleur. Wolf thought of a new Ad slogan for us too… From Dynamic to Delicate. Get hooked on Daiichi After all, the fish will…
We like it Gray Wolf! Thanks.
