I think 99% of it is simple greed - "I want to catch as many fish as possible - MY way, and if anyone gets in my way - indians, commercials, wdfw, PETA, fly fishing purists, yada yada, they can go to hell - mine mine mine!!!"
self indulgance then we'll all lose in the end...
Exactally. You stated that in the exact way it is for alot of people out there. MINE MINE MINE....you think you fishing there...no your not cuz i'm gunna stand right next to you and cast right over your line. Then i'll look at you like....what? i didn't do anything wrong..i'm just snaggin' is all... cuz i don't know how to fish properly...Jacka$$es. I totally agree with you. I bet just the reference to indians will probably spur some sort of hate about them and their nets. Hell i bet half the fish that these people catch or snag are from indian hatcheries. Lake Washington Sockeye fishing wouldn't exsist if it wasn't for them "darn indians". Um, who's the ones that ruined the runs in the first place???
I always fish a float and always kick ass. Who likes to snag up and lose their gear anyways? Fishing with a float is like shopping at SportCo. The product is the same, it just cost less to get it. I don't see the problem with a change in regs. It will only help everyone.
