Salmon snagging is illegal in all States and Provinces in North America.
Actually it is leagle in parts of Colorado and New Mexico. The Colorado season is generally from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31. New Mexico is Oct 1 to 31. There are exceptions in both states so check your local Regulation. I'm Heading to Eagle Nest in Oct. and wanted to know what size hook as well.After much searching I found a few recomendations for 4/0 and 5/0 hooks for the fish in Colorado and New Mexico.
Snag fishing, or "snagging," is a form of fishing that utilizes a large, weighted hook (often a treble or triple hook), heavy test line, and a large rod (often called a snagging or salmon pole). Snagging is outlawed in most (if not all) US states. Fish taken in this manner are usually hooked anywhere the hook hits them, causing massive damage that is not usually survivable, and is by nature indescriminant of size, maturity, or gender.
Snagging, also called snag fishing, is the sport of fishing with the use of hooks but without focusing on bait-in-mouth fishing. The technique involves immediately jerking the fishing line into the fish's mouth with the hook just prior to or immediately upon the bait being seized. Multi-hook lines are typical with snagging.

A 3mm crochet hook is halfway between a C and D size in US sizes.
it is best to use an H or I size hook
that would be a size P crochet hook
A 3mm aluminum hook (in the U.S.) would probably be a C hook. (Hook sizes are not always the same when made by different manufacturers.) Fingering or sock yarn would be best suited to this size hook. That said, manufacturers generally note the suggested hook size on the label of the yarn. That is a suggested size only and you are free to choose a different size hook with which to work that yarn. Also, your pattern will likely tell you what size hook to use and the appropriate yarn for your project. If you are looking at steel hooks, you would have a size between a 1 and 0 hook which would be used for thread, probably size 5.
It depends on the size of yarn used. For worsted weight size 4 yarn, it reccommends to use a size g or h hook. Check the yarn cover to see which size hook is reccommended for the yarn.
You can use another size that gives you the gauge you want.
Snagging is a term used in the construction industry in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Snagging is the production of a list of quality defects at the end of a build process/phase/stage (a "Snag List" or "Snagging List").
