Last Cast,

I tend to agree with you about handing off a rod. But if you read what the other 65 plus posts think about that issue, you and I are in the minority! That is why a "legal opinion" has been requested. No more second-guessing the WDFW regulations, this opinion will come right from the horse's mouth, and you will be able to take it to court with you. It will be very interesting to see how the Chief Enforcement Officer feels about this and others issues that were addressed in the legal opinion request.

Cowlitzfisherman,

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook????
