I've seen alot of post stating that one snagged fish doesn't make any difference on a fishery. I have to strongly disagree with that position. If everybody thought this way then the number of snagged fish bonked would significantly increase. I don't understand how people think that they don't make an impact with their actions.

As far as snagging goes, if there is enough fish stacked in a hole to snag them, is it unreasonable to think that you can getafew to bite in the course of the day? I have only fished for about 10 years and by no means am I an expert, but in my experience getting a fish to bite is anything but impossible.

There are many problems when it comes to the snagging of fish and if your not part of the solution than your part of the problem. Salmon and Steelhead are a valuabel resource and we are very lucky to have the privaledge of fishing for them. If we are to continue to have strong runs of salmon in the future we must act respectful to the environment and the salmon themselves. I do not feel that snagging of any kind should be accepted or justified.

Just my opinion on the whole issue
