I was warned by a warden while flyfishing at Hoodsport not to fish with barbs in the saltwater. I had tied the fly the night before and forgot to pinch down the barb. beathead But I was wondering why you have to have barbless hooks in the saltwater when you can use them in the rivers. I think that it should be the other way around. Because you will more often keep a fish in the salt and practice catch and release in the rivers. It would make much more seanse this way. Is there anybody that knows why the rules are this way?
