Number one 'enforcement fallacy'...

" but if WDFW would gett off the arses and write tickets that problem would get solved."

I seem to remember last years snagger bust on the Wind making both the KWGN and NWCN channels....tv cameras, pictures of the offenders went out over the air. Tickets were issued, arrests were made....it was as ugly for snaggers as it possibly could have been that day....

When I talked to one of the gamies down there he said the snagging pressure actually got worse, as if the tv publicity had planted this seed in the head of a hundred hillbillies...'Well, maybe I could snag one down on the Wind?'

You want to fix the problem on the wind quit blaming enforcement. If the Feds weren't dumping in hundreds of thousands of artificially produced salmon into that river, the snaggers wouldn't be there. Period. Have them frickin police the damn thing, after all its their hatchery. Sick and tired of hearing people blaming lack of enforcement for the snagging problem.

Mass mark all hatchery Nooks and I am solidly behind a wild chinook moratorium.
