Hi there lonehunter,
In principle, I don't like the use of stainless steel hooks. Reasons include:
1) I don't believe they are THAT sharp.
2) The wire is always quite heavy for the hook size.
3) They won't rust out like hooks should. (yes I understand stream salmon are going to die anyways and aren't feeding at times)
The good thing I like about them is that there are many styles and much larger sizes that are quite good for saltwater fishing and species.
Mind you, I'm not ragging on you personally it's just I hate finding 3 or 4 of those hooks in a fish.
