Chum Man:

I do not agree that the WDFW should just go stop the snaggers. I have NEVER put a hook in the kill scene and never will, but I have watched the zoo several times. If they put half dozen agents on the river every day they still wouldn't make a dent in the problem. Bottom line is the kill scene is almost always too low and clear to fish in September. Almost all the fish taken there are snagged. AND there is a fragile run of summer chums in there at that time. They too are snagged by the damn fools who, leave trash everywhere, crap on private landowners property and trespass.

If the river in not navigable, which means most access involves trespassing, the fish wont bite, and the mobs are littering everywhere it should be closed!

We close tavern and night clubs that are consistently a problem. Why not streams?

If the locals must have these fish to survive, we could hand them out at the hatchery.

I once sought a game warden to go ticket the idiots snagging by the lower bridge. He told me he couldn’t write any more tickets as his paperwork was backed up from all the tickets he had already written.
