This is another fishing hook that was developed for fishing with bait, but is now also being used for artificial bait.

Today's fly tiers create artificial egg patterns to simulate salmon eggs and many prefer this hook style because the up-eye does not close off the hook gape and the angle of pull enhance hook-ups.
