Is it just me or did snaging salmon reach an all time high last year? It seemed to me that more people than not were not even trying to catch them in 2002. Especially in the smaller rivers and creeks. It seems like there are two many people out there that dont even care to put in there time to learn to fish. Its tough to get the fish to bite when people are ripping water with trebles or 5/0 jigs.

eek

Should the state open some hatchery fisheries to snagging to draw snaggers away from wild runs?
