$5.29 for 25 hooks, not bad, even though it is in US$. Do you offset the eyes on those though ? or use them as they are ?

I'll give these a shot this week end:

Will report results of further testing  :P

Just hope to be able to release any socks caught, but still land some springs, will see what happens.

**Before anyone comments on it, the barbs are in fact pinched on the rigged-hooks, but not on the single hook**

I saw a fishing show where they were using circle hooks for sturgeon...host said they work great and usually end up hooking the fish in the mouth opposed to the throat, gut, etc.

BTW are lots of people still flossing?  I read a press release a while back announcing the pink opening and DFO basically asked fishermen not to floss the pinks too (just like when they opened springs and they asked for selective fishing methods). 

I guess as long as there is a spring in the river people will go out and try to floss it.  At least the water temp is down right now so mortality due to C&R should be way down too   :-X
