Craven,

it is common for laws to allow and encourage unethical behavior. What i am saying is that ethical anglers will not want to participate and unethical fishermen ruin everyone elses experience. Suggesting that we are only talking about Canada is absurd. because these same people come down here and do the exact same thing here. It DOES breed anglers who really do not care how they catch fish and when a fish is hard to catch they will resort to snagging. I have seen it a thousand times. If it was limited to the frasier river sockeye i probably wouldn't have said anything but the fact is it is not. on top of that it is becoming an accepted method of angling everywhere.
Snagging is unethical period if anyione has a problem with that well then they are more concerned about themselves than the resource or other people and that by deffinition makes them selfish.
Thats the simple application of login NOT my opinion.
