No apology from me cause i did nothing wrong... I guess purist just means ethical now.
I am getting tired of all this reletivism. Some things are just unethical such things never have a time and place where they are ethical. Snagging is one of thoes things. It is always wrong even where it is legal. Frankly i think it's stupid to lower our expectations of sportsmen to the lowest common denominator. There is no difference between ripping chinooks in the back with a trebel wrapped with lead than drifting a lure into a pool so full of fish you can't help but snag one. No difference at all.. There is no difference between flossing sockeyes than there is snagging a wild steelhead off a redd. Also no difference in the "fly anglers" who often floss coho on the Kalama. legal or not enforced or not it is wrong to fish knowing that the fish are not volentarily eating your lure or bait. That is snagging and snagging is always wrong Period that is the way it is. make all the exuses you want but you cannot change the truth..

If your up on the frasier snagging sockeye then do not dare say a word when you see some yahoo snagging a wild steelhead off a redd in thr sol duc the stilly the Skagit or any other river.. There is no difference!
