It's funny James and I were talking last night and came up with a great idea, if they do go with a bait ban on a river then it would be only fair in our non-communist country that we have a "bait-only" river. That way we could have the segregation that the game department wants, sort of like having no african americans in a specific urinal way back when, we're past that and we all know segregation isn't right. It's not a communist country...

If we had a bait-only river then we also figured it would be a great way to stop or seriously slow snagging during the fall.. Couldn't you see it, snaggers up there baiting up every cast to snag salmon, that would slow that problem quite a bit.

The legislature will not allow for this law to stand and it will only be time until it is lifted. We'll have to be patient and just see what happens. Until then, I will be fishing bait in the EF of the Lewis and every other river that I come across with bait being legal...
