Ok, Scotland and the Spey in particular are getting into the catch and release mode. I have been sorting out my fly boxes and trying to debarb some of my favourite flies. I am using a pair of pliers (orthodontic) The barbs squash down ok but I would not describe the as barbless.
What should I do now? Rub with a file ?
I have broken a couple of hooks as well were they weak anyway or am I being to rough and squashing too hard.
We still fish trebles and doubles as well as singles, has anyone any evidence that trebles are any worse than sinles or doubles for unhooking. Remember I have a life time supply of trebles so do not wish to bin them lightly.
