On the snagging issue lived in Washington State for many years and saw few game wardens. Here in Oregon the Oregon State Police do the game checks with very few wardens. Lots of Police at the end of a 911 call. And I can guarentee they will come ... now!

"Hatchery Hole" at top end of Rogue was a total zoo (hence real name of "zoo hole." OSP isued 162 $300 tickets in 30 days;more if you count the just fishing in closed waters. ($300 if you hooked beached an illg. fish) When you involve the local police (empower them with game duties) you'll see a lot less snagging.

Something about a 6'2" 200# uniformed officer get these folks attention.
