Funny how snagging and other abuses like littering go hand in hand at the usual crowded spots. I noticed on another post about the Blue Creek clean up that what looked like a huge crowd of concerned fishermen cleaning up garbage was really a huge group of shoulder to shoulder fishermen and a small group of cleaners. Intentional snagging is really poaching. Maybe these overcrowded spots should just be closed to all fishing. The fact that there are tons of fish at terminal areas stacking up is another problem. In Alaska snagging is a way of life where fish are really plentiful. Catching a Sockeye on the Kenai River is almost impossible without snagging or flossing. Up there if you are a native you can dip net fish to take home. Snagging is still illegal but tolerated I guess. What we have on this board are people who would like a nice river all to themselves and snaggers are "ruining it for everyone"...
