If ya' all read my post on this and other simular threads you might understand that I am not a snagger dammit and I really hate to be made out like one dammit.

I just hate to see more fisheries shut down, especially terminal and hatchery fisheries. As I have said many time before that will just put more pressure on the native stalks. theres is nothing that chap my hide more than people snagging native fish. I can care less about hatchery fish. This does not mean that I grab my meat stick and snag hooks and head to hoodsport every day. It just means that to me in my opinion hatchery fish dont matter. hatchery fish are raised for sport and commercial fishermen. I prefer to actually catch the fish but I am not going to distract the wardens by calling on hillbillies that prefer to snag fish as long as they are hatchery fish.

I will however do everything I can to bust people snagging native fish.


The top two jigs are an example of some of the jigs I use. the bottom jig is what I would use if I were snagging, there would be no sense in putting any effort into tying jigs up nice if I were going to snag.

The left jig is one of my cowlitz favorites the right jig is my saltwater favorite. The bottom jig I just tied up to get the point acrossed that I would not take the time to come up with good jigs if I was just snagging.





By the way it is legal to keep a salmon hooked in the head dammit!
:p
