ZoZo If you'd notice I did not say that everyone using corkies was snagging! i said that there are more people snagging with corky drift set ups that fish legit with them. Understand also i am talking only about salmon in the fall.
I wish you guys would quit assuming i am saying or meaning more than i am saying.
I say exactly what i mean and leave nothing out. there is NO reading between the lines no interpreting what i am saying. I say EXACTLY what i mean.
If you can get salmon to take a corky i think thats great however there are a thousand guys for every one of you that are snagging with them. Ok maybe a hundred but certainly no less than that. Maybe things are a little different here than in the rest of the state but here in southwest washington there are vastly more snaggers than fair fishermen. if you wanna see what I am taking about go drive up the Washougal the next rain we get or go down to the meat hole on the North lewis ( particularly from the "rock" or below the hatchery intake)
1. they are all snagging
2. they are people who wouldn't put the effort into finding fish someplace else so they would not be displaced to other areas. well maybe to another terminal fishery like blue creek or the barrier dam.

I think site or season gear restrictions could limit these guys's procductivity and make them not want to fish any more and thats a damn good thing!!!

a couple weeks ago there was mention of how a couple people in boats floating through got hit by flying lead from these creeps. In my opinion that says it all about the charecter of these fellows and is cause enough for the closure of the access there. These people and the legit anglers around them absolutely refuse to police themselves so I say good ridence to bad rubbish WDFW has no obligation to these people to allow them to harvest or even fish for these fish if they do not obey the rules.

certainly there are guys that catch fish fair on corkies vastly more catch them with corkies and eggs. but here in SW Washington corkies for salmon are used as the primary snagging set up and i think WDFW would be in the right banning them and all drift bobbers from September1-November 15.

sure you can disagree all you want but all I want to do is get rid of snaggers. If you disagree with that well then go ahead and call me a nazi and tell me how all i wanna do is tell people how to fish but understand I have never said or implied that and your just offended because your own actions are wrong according to the law and sportsman like conduct. snagging (flossing-lining) is the game of sore losers
