Hey SA - (I Love saying that, it reminds of Cheech and Chong!!)

I personally have had only marginally better success with Herring wrapped Kwikkies vs. straight kwikkies. I would be willing to sacrifice the three or four extra hookups a year I get with the stinky kwikkies if it meant fewer killed smolt. That said smolt aren't voracious kwikfish biters, I support more of the time and place bans as outlined by Salmo G....

As for scent...gosh, it sure makes one feel more confident when its on ones lure but could we catch fish without it?? I think so...remember I'm not talking general ban here, just Summertime mostly when fishb are at their most aggressive anyway.....
