[tie one on]

I have only ever used barbless hooks once. I was given
several extra barbless hooks on a pattern I learned during
a fly tying class I had taken. I have never purchased them &
more than likely never will. I most certainly would never deter
anyone from using them, if that's their choice. I was always
taught that if a fish is caught that I did not intend to keep,
that they are always treated carefully when extracting the
hook. I have never waivered from that teaching.
