Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Single barbless hooks reduce the number of hook point penetrations in the fish\u2019s mouth and subsequently minimizes injury and associated bleeding.\u00a0 This is especially important when the hook becomes buried in the back of the fish\u2019s mouth (near the gills) where an injury has increased potential of being a lethal one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Hook removal time is longer with treble hooks than with single barbless, increasing fish handling time and air exposure.\u00a0 Air exposure has been found to be the primary cause of fish mortality in catch and release angling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Treble hooks are more susceptible to becoming caught in the net which also increases handling time and air exposure.\u00a0 The remaining hooks in the fish\u2019s mouth can rip and tear flesh causing tissue damage and bleeding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One catch and release study found that fish mortality from treble barbless hooks was 4.5 times higher than mortality from single barbless hooks (Reingold &amp; Melvin, 1979).\u00a0 This can have a substantial impact on fish mortality in an intensive catch and release sport fishery such as on the Tree River.<\/p>\n<p>Many of you this season also experienced the benefit of losing far less lures than in previous seasons.\u00a0 Fortunately, single hooks are much less likely to become wedged in the cracks and crannies on the rock bottom of the Tree.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all of you for making this year\u2019s move to single barbless a great success.\u00a0 In light of the fact that most lures come equipped with treble hooks, we will continue to supply our guides with high quality single hooks for easy conversion.\u00a0 Please just ask your Tree River Guide to switch you over and we will continue to have the best arctic char fishery in the world!<\/p>\n<p>See you back on the Tree!<\/p>\n<p>Sean Barfoot<br \/>\nManager, Tree River Lodge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2001, Plummer\u2019s Arctic Lodges made a wise decision to go catch and release with the exception of lunch fish to ensure the continuity of world class and world record fishing in our waters.\u00a0 This step forward was also marked by other conservation measures including using barbless hooks.\u00a0 This year, Tree River went one step further and recommended guests switched &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plummerslodges.com\/tree-river-goes-single-barbless\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":279,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,2],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tree River Goes Single Barbless | Plummer&#039;s Arctic Lodges<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plummerslodges.com\/tree-river-goes-single-barbless\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tree River Goes Single Barbless | Plummer&#039;s Arctic Lodges\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 2001, Plummer\u2019s Arctic Lodges made a wise decision to go catch and release with the exception of lunch fish to ensure the continuity of world class and world record fishing in our waters.\u00a0 This step forward was also marked by other conservation measures including using barbless hooks.\u00a0 This year, Tree River went one step further and recommended guests switched ...
