I steelhead here in N.Y. state and we have been having a huge problem with people lining fish here,its funny our local steelhead bulletin board www.steelheadsite.com sounds an awful lot like this board even though we are on different coasts. Lots of heated discussions,well here in N.Y. the powers in control finally got tired of the lining that it looks like they are implimenting a max leader length of 48" on our rivers .thank goodness because long leaders+small flies=snagging.
