Mooch Been down the 100 road this summer?sure has changed,huh.Now there is a spot I wish I could get a gamey to keep an eye on.It only took two poachers a couple of trips to wipe out the resident steelhead we played with last christmas eve.

There are not enough game wardens and consequently there is not enough enforcement.

To sit here and debate whether or not a person is snagging fish at these terminal fisheries is moot.I believe that many a person goes to these stack up points with the best of intention but ends up schooled in whole new art.And it aint fishin.

I did some humpy fishing a couple a weeks ago on a favorite z spot.I was the first and only to fish these fish.I managed three reel quick on a pink jig without spooking the fish. then moved to the tail out and cast up into them with a pink worm.got three more,before my leader broke,leaving the pink worm hanging in its mouth.no more bites.I moved up in the canyon where I could see down on the fish and watched for a good ten minutes as the rest of the school tried to get away from the fish with the pink worm.The worm finally came loose and everything went back to normal.I left them alone.

Now how in the hell does a sportsmen figure he is going to go down to a river running at record lows,get in line with a couple hundred snaggers and "catch" a fish?The idea is a big lie.
