I'm neutral on the trebles, I just know they are a challenge for catch and release, particularly with so many releases we have to do these days. My 13 yr old brought in a beautiful 12 lb coho off grant's reef last weekend. I'm glad it was a single barbless as it made the release so much easier.
I'd be concerned the small treble would end up down the throat or in the gills making the release of prohibited species useless.
In 1990 I was present for a catch and release study at Langara Island. The target species was large chinook. I'll see if I can get my hands on the report to see what it said about treble hooks.
