Default Attention Pa Fisherman: Special Regulations change

...
Are they also planning on requiring circle hooks to be used with the bait?
California DF&G is starting to require circle hooks when bait fishing in
some salmon fisheries. CA DF&G claims circle hooks have far less

mortality
than regular bait hooks. I haven't seen any studies that support circle
hooks.

Good luck!

Circle hooks were specifically devised for longline fishing, in order to
guarantee a mortality rate of 100%. They actually come close.
