The Circle requirements are for NY State. If other states will follow then please check your state fishing laws. The reasoning behind the Circle hook. its not about what bait you use. its about being able to unhook the fish as quickly as gentle as possible for being released back into the rivers. Unfortately the mortality rate is too high from under sized stripe bass being caught and released and ending up being dead in the water. Being a circle hook should be alot easier to unhook with fingers or most people use is pair of pliers.

Hi Jerome, the dates were 29th and 30th, and thank you for responding, you have been the only one. The event is a two day event with NYDEC I Love NY free fishing. I hold the event at norrie, and would like fellow carpers, to assist as well as fish. It's a public event mostly with kids since they are off from school. We do the fishing and give a rod with a carp on the end. And the NY DEC has displays in the building. And we can promote CAG and fishing in general. As for next year, I have to wait till they offer free fishing days. BUT later in the year I hold a just CAG fishin late October earl
