One of the most proficient Quillabilly snaggers had a letter to the editor of the Port Townsend Leader published today. He's advocating making snagging legal. As good as this guy is he and all of his relations and friends likely have freezers full of snagged fish. Check it out and reply... sorry due to my lack of proficieny at the old computer you'll have to do a search. This guy is claiming that letting these coho spawn are actually endangering the listed run of chums and that not harvesting them is a waste of resource. He use's words like research! As a professional ecologist I love all of the dead fish left in the river as it provides the lifeblood of the entire freshwater/saltwater ecosystem! This is what historically provided the driver for all the NW salmon runs. God loves the illitrate and uneducated! This guy claims that WDFW is catering to a few voices in not openng this river up to snagging! Time for all of us to make it clear that we are not the few. E-mail this paper! E-mail WDFW! Get active or lose the battle!

Always FishOn!
