I saw the same thing sat on the Dewatto.I went to school with this guy.He had his boy,probably 4-5 years old.I showed up and while we were talking the boy was busy snagging fish.Dad finally tried to explain to the boy that you do not snag them it is against the law.The boys answer was "but dad you do!"

I fished that river three times last week and I have to say that the state opening it up for a silver meat fishery was a big mistake.It is not big enough for one guy to fish,let alone a horde.Every trip I run into guys filling the woods with blatentlly[pencil lead and trebble hooks] snagged fish.

Basicly said the state killed the major tribs to the hood canal so they turn everybody loose on the few little ones left that have any fish so they to can suffer the same demize.
