Cupo- My observations basically mimic yours. Two colors and sizes seem to "line" those fish much better that others . Also, W.C. I totally agree with you that some of these fish are lined and I'm sure you caught some that were even hooked nowhere near the head, but I believe what makes it right or wrong is what your after. If you are there just to line fish than I think you should rethink what you are doing....however, if you are fishing and really trying to find the biters have at it! As I have stated before lining and snagging some fish unintentionally when the salmon are as schooled up as they are right now is unavoidable. Simply release and/or break these fish off and keep looking for the biters because they are in there. I don't like the way you say we should just all "call it what it is" because I don't think that is what the fishery should be about at all.
For any of you that know me I would never like to make any enemy, I wish everybody could get along and have a great time on the river, but it seems whenever someone is having success (me or anyone else) there's always people out there that want to throw out some jab. This IS suppose to be a fun hobby for us all isn't it. Obviously, we all CAN'T just get along and that makes me very sad and worried about the future of our sport!
