I had a long conversation with the organisers. with the low waters, while they where "exploring the fishing etc" a huge amount of muddies, where foul hooked. They took the option to exclude the Muddies, with barbless hooks, the foul hooked muddies, could "easily be unhooked in the net" on the way to the marshal. Creating more controversy. I understood the reasoning, behind it, although I have expressed my opposition to the ruling, as I think that Muddies are technically more difficult to hook in the mouth, compared to SM. As you have mentioned, Muddies, are not easy to remove a hook, from a foul hooked Muddie, But as they organisers said, they dont want to "create opportunities" as there used to be 1 or 2 "wily" fly fishers out there.
