GFC - so am I understanding you correctly that if a fish is hard or tough to get a strike from in fresh water, its ok to floss/line/snag. I've caught Sockeye while nymphing with a strike indicator up there so I know they bite, just not very well. Don't get me wrong either, I've caught hundreds using the 'traditional' method. Just a little curious why its ok to line a fish when they're lockjaws, legalities aside since this really is a moral discussion and laws are open for some grey areas.

Don't feel bad Dan, I just got done doing a little speedin' myself. Hope no one saw that will think less of me. laugh
