There goes another one. But seriously, I am one of those guys that learned to fish on a river that is known for flossing. Maybe I should have just said the Cowlitz. I had absolutely no idea I was snagging fish until Herzog told me one day while shopping at Sportco. I made an immediate decision to stop after that. Yes, I caught far fewer fish, but the reward is so much greater when you hook a fish using your own secret cure or concoction. After being a "purist" for a year or so I will admit that I flossed a little bit this summer. However, I will only do so in a river that has an excess of hatchery stock, ie: Cowlitz. Those fish are created for the BBQ. I wouldn't go around bragging that I flossed fish on the Fraser. Even though 90% of the guys out there do it, you are still tampering with a native stock. You could still catch a decent amount of fish using a two foot leader. Save the lining for recycled fish!
