No, they are designed to hook in the corner of the mouth. I think
you'll find them in use for muskie.


Interesting. Next time I'm in the fly shop in Boulder Junction
I'll ask if anybody ties muskie flies on 'em.


FWIW, I'd turn to Google rather than limit yourself to a particular shop
as far as info. I just did, and you'll find quite a bit of info. From
a _very_ quick glance at the results, circle hooks have a fair following
(actually, more than I imagined) among muskie fishers.
