Not being cheeky, but why bother fishing for salmon?

You could just crimp off the barbs on salmon hooks, but the idea of doubles and trebles gives you some hint as to why they barbs are there.

Trebles aren't allowed where I'm going and the rule is C&R.

Richard,
you will find barbless salmon irons almost nonexistant ,for value go for some Sprites from Mr Parton ,and crimp the barbs down pre dressing the fly.
