Dan, I don't asume that this was a C&R enthusiast. I cannot imagine that he might use trebles. I guess he used bait, that's why he uswed this hook. And he did not know that trout swallow bait very deep. As far as I know in most fisheries here in Germany treble hooks are not allowed. For sure because they are so difficult to remove. Rene
