There are still some open sores around here regarding the whole lining/flossing issue. Some raise the question "How am I supposed to know whether it is flossed or not", which is valid as long as you are using common sense fishing tactics.

I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree, but running more than 36" (I'm being generous here) of leader while casting from the bank on a small stream tends to make me think that you are trying to floss a fish. After all, drift fishing is all about feeling the fish take your offering and how can you do that if you are running 6' of leader?

What it comes down to is morals. You flossers know that you are using a loophole in the current regulations that likely will get tightened up soon. If you can live with your actions, then bravo.
