I’m ok with single barbed hooks, but not trebles.

If you use hooks like that you are not only a dick but you should not be doing catch/release fishing.

>Addressing fears of barbed hooks mangling fish in some of Wyoming’s most coveted blue-ribbon trout fisheries on the North Platte River, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission has banned barbed hooks there. Only barbless hooks will be allowed along popular sections of the North Platte River below Seminoe Reservoir. That includes the river from the Gray Reef section downstream to the take-out at Miles Landing/Government Bridge. The commission has the authority to establish or change regulations for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. During its meeting in Casper this week, the commission ruled to implement the ban on barbed hooks in that stretch of the North Platte River.
