In a timley article that I just read in my new STS, there is a big article on lining or "flossing".
On the rivers I fish in Northern California, there are big firing lines of flossers downstream from the hatcheries.
Here, the concentrations of fish bring out the ugly side of the human predator.
Guys swearing at the top of their lungs, fistfights, full on snagging with big trebbles and wading through knee deep garbage.
A true wilderness experience.
In this article the author suggests that perhaps there should be a 4 foot limit put on leaders and that fly fisherman are as guilty as bead fisherman when it comes to flossing fish off their nets.
Do you think that there should be some restriction put on this type of fishing technique?
