Thanks everyone for the information. I only have one question.......the selective gear issue. I'm in total favor of single barbless hooks, all the time for everything, but is it required for the Snohomish pink fishery? If so, what are all the idiots going to use besides their usual 4 pound buzz bombs with six treble hooks on them?

Surecatch, I'll call you when the humpies are in. I know a few places....especially during certain tides.....during hot weather.......when the water is low and clear.....a special lure....
