The "flossfest" on the Fraser is nothing more than a meat fishery and is not for the angler looking for a true sport fishing trip. So purhaps "angling purists" should just stay away.

The fishery is nothing more than "single-line gillnetting" as described by an older Canadian gent who fished next to me yesterday.

The fishery provides an opportunity for me to fish in a beautiful scenic area for great tasting fish while supporting the local Fraser economy from restaurants to motels and toss in the $80 Canadian License to boot.

I found that the bad behaviours along the bars that had been developing over the last few seasons vastly improved. Witnessed many anglers packing their trash out as well as old balls of mono and trash left by others. I try to make a habit of this trash collecting everytime I'm up there because it's just to beautiful of a resource to see get trashed.

I came back with one spring shy of my possesion limit of 4 socks and two springs for two days of fishing.

G-man: Openly bragging about going over your limit will not help you make very many friends on this board.
