Barb filed flat beforehand thankfully. Still hurts wriggling them out.

Mr flytyer07 on here might recognise the fly, he tied it for me.

Had a size 2/0 salmon hook in my hand last season, I had to learn the hard way!
Needless to say I now fish barbless. I got it out with a pliers but it was not very pleasant!!
You live and learn.
