Firehole Sticks is the full line of barbless fly tying hooks from Firehole Outdoors. Twenty-eight models today, every one manufactured barbless rather than de-barbed. The wire is drawn for that geometry from the start, which is why the point goes in clean and backs out without tearing.

The line covers the range: jig hooks for Euro nymphing, nymph hooks for bead-heads and soft hackles, dry fly hooks for surface work, continuous curve hooks for scuds and emergers, streamer hooks for big flies, and predator hooks for pike, bass, and salt. Sizing stays consistent across the range, so a #16 in one model relates to a #16 in another the way you would expect.

Barbless is required on a growing number of catch-and-release waters in the US and Europe, and under international competition rules. It is also the right choice on plenty of water where nobody is checking. Every hook below is built that way. Find the one that fits the pattern.
