snit you obvioously know nothing about fly fishing i can land a steelhead on a 6wt as fast as I can with my 8-12 casting rod. when was the last time you even saw a fly fisher catch a fish??

anyway i am in favor of closing rivers with no hatchery run but well what do you know there aren't any!!!!!
I think all fisheries that have large problems with snagging should be closed.. maybe if the sport anglers would get off their own arses and turn in these scumbag poachers the problem wouldn't exsist..
your comments of it being a few people snagging is false it's the majority of the people taking part in the fishery!!!
WDFW enforcment is doing their job as best they can. What would solve the problem is if the ethical anglers were to not tolerate the snagging... Also if unintentional snaggin is common then there is something wrong with your method of fishing...
I still say move the production of spring chinok to another facility close the river above the boat ramp and plant the fish at the mouth and let the trollers have at them.. Then maybe we'd get some wild steelhead back in the wind river..

Close all snag fisheries!!
