even if barbed hooks were legal in alberta i would probly still tie my flies on barbless hooks. I did not notice a difference between them.
soon as somebody looses a fish they always blame barbless but I witnessed a trout this year take my dry fly in the air and twist a barbless off the quicksnap on my tippet and took my last hook for the hatch. so who do I blame that on?
if you give them slack they are goin back. so keep a tight line.
