Here in the UP of Michigan, snow capital of the world, the steelhead season is at least a month away, but it's time for me to buy tackle for the coming season. A new item which has caught my eye in the 2000 catalogs are freshwater circle hooks of a small enough size to use for yarn flies and spawn. These hooks were dynamite on Florida tarpon and held these fish very well. Has anyone out there tried them yet, and, if so, what's the word?
