is there a reason for Båtsfjord municipality to specifically choose a Stone age fishing hook?

I am not sure, but I would not be surprised if there is some connection to an archaeological find in the municipality.

[cjo87] shows a drawing of a hook very similar to the one pictured in the flag, captioned (my translation): "Bone fishing hook from younger stone-age, found near Vadsø." The hook in the flag is similar, but made remarkably "fatter" so to fill the field decently.
