In this Mad River Outfitters Q&A, Brian Flechsig discusses why you should smash the barb on your hook, using split shot to help your fly get down to the appropriate level, delivery versus presentation and why you should run from people who tell you that your fly rod can't get wet!

Mad River Outfitters Good one! Sorry Brian. But he makes a lot of sense, less cross-section should relate to how easy it is for the hook point to penetrate resulting in fewer missed hookups. I can see a big advantage especially with dry flies where I miss a lot of strikes to begin with. I do lose more fish with barbless but not significant. I like Brian’s take on keeping the rod butt perpendicular to the fish’s movement to keep the hook buried. I fish small trout a lot and barbless is certainly easier on the fish when releasing. All told a very informative video.

I only tie, buy or use barbless hooks now, on older flies, I crush the barbs with pliers or Hemostats before fishing. A lot of my local fisheries only allow barbless. I also fly fish for Pike and the barbless hooks are so much quicker and easier to remove. Also, if you hook yourself or clothing, it pops right out, without tearing the jacket, hat, even net etc...

There is currently a river in Bonshaw in Prince Edward Island Canada where catch and release is mandatory and using barbeless hooks is also mandatory. They have placed a sign informing the fishermen of those rules and they have a little plier by the sign which instructions on how to flatten the barb! So this is likely coming your way, extremely good idea to get used to it.

There's a video (available on youtube), I think it's called "The Underwater Life of Trout", That show barbed and barbless flies from under water, how a fish might see it. The barbed hook had a little bubble of air, and the barbless did not. So it would appear the fly presents better barbless too.

Grew up fishing for bass, trout and native Muskellunge in West Virginia. I was throwing a very big swim bait and hooked into a massive 36”+ Muskie ( any musky at 36” is massive in the creek I was fishing.) Upon a very excited and sloppy release 2 of the 3 barbed treble hooks embedded deep in my palm and wrist. I had to go to the hospital to get them removed and ended up with half a dozen stitches….. it was miserable. I still have a hard time moving my middle and ring finger to full capacity to this day because of it. I now fly fish trout in Western Colorado, usually the Gunnison River. Barbless is the way to go without a doubt.

Isle Royale, 2009. Some guys were fishing pike rigs on McCargoe Cove and one of them pulled in too hard. He got a good sized treble hook stuck right into the meat of his hand between his thumb and index finger. There was no way to push it further to bring it out and trim the barb. We were all at least a days hike from the nearest dock, which upon radio contact with the ranger station would be another half day to the nearest American hospital in Calumet. We wrapped his hand and he was on enough painkillers to knock over a horse. I hope he made it out alright.

Re: barbless hooks. Many years ago, Lefty Kreh gave a presentation to our fly tying club & suggested tying & fishing with barbless hooks to improve hook rate & safety for released fish. He was quite convincing & included a video of hooking fish, then putting his rod down on the shore for a few minutes. Every time he picked rod up, the fish was still hooked. The only times I’ve had a fish lost from a barbless hook was when I played it incorrectly, especially if it’s was leaping. Now I debarb all hooks, including those on my large saltwater plugs. I also now tie on primarily debarbed circle hooks for fresh & saltwater. One suggestion: please don’t debarb your hooks using your vise. I also use a Regal. If you put the hook too near the tip of the vise fine jaws for small hooks, you can break it at the tip. There are so many good alternatives, why risk your vise?
@Madriveroutfitters
@Madriveroutfitters 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for chiming in. That vise right there that Brian has was purchased in 1992 and he debarbs thousands of hooks per year in it. Never a problem. Pretty sure Lefty taught him to do that as a matter of fact.

I guess I remain unconvinced. If removing the hook from the fish’s mouth is easier when the barb is pinched (which is objectively true, I think we can all agree) then it stands to reason that the hook will more easily come free inadvertently while playing the fish. To be clear, I think folks should pinch their barbs, for personal safety and the well being of the fish. But I also think we should acknowledge the fact that we may lose fish as a result.

I’ve noticed that it’s a whole lot easier to take out a barbless hook from the mouth than a barbed hook. That being said, you’re going to have a better hook to land ratio using a barbed hook. Really not that hard for a big steelhead to shake a barbless hook, trust me, I’ve lost plenty both ways. Barbed is the way to go for bigger fish, I’d fish barbless for regular trout, the smaller fish.

Mad River Outfitters hey we all have different experiences.. It could be because I know how to fight a fish, but it’s going to be very hard for a big fish to spit a hook that has a barb locked down deep in its jaw.. as it would be hard to take that hook out upon netting it. There are times where its in there so good that I tell myself I’d have a better chance seeing a unicorn than that hook coming out during a fight. Whatever works for you!

Are hook companies making a barbless hook?

Some but just as easy to crimp with hemostats.

@@Madriveroutfitters I haven''t found crimping is that easy, I guess. I've tried hemostats and jewelry pliers and it takes at least 3 or 4 tries each barb. My hands are fairly weak though. Thanks for the reply. Mad River deserves its great reputation!

Only a person who has never had to take their child to an istacare to have a hook pulled out of their leg or had to have a hook cut out of their own hand would ask why you use barbless hooks.
