The regs clearly state that it is unlawful to fish in a manner in which the fish does not willfully take the bait or lure into it's mouth.

Therefore a 27 foot leader with a black corkie and a hook above the corkie (that's the "Toutle Local" rig) is probably an attempt to catch fish in a manner which the fish does not take the bait willfully into it's mouth.

But ask any gamie.....it's awful hard to prove what the fish was thinking.

My thought is that if you're a local who's fishing for meat and you have to attempt to floss fish....well, you're probably so desperate as to make it okay in your conscience...for the rest of us, stick to real fishing, sport fishing, and leave the meat baggers at hoodsport :p
