I worked at the hatch on the quill for a short time clipping the summer chum last winter for the experience.The funny thing is that they could really care less sbout the snagging.The hatch is going to get there quota amd all the rest are just yanked and disposed of.So I guess my point is who really cares if they snag a fish that if not caught or snagged are just going to be thrown away.They are just disposable hatchery fish to supply a meat fishery!LOL laugh
