1. Flossing is already illegal...and I'm not going to bother re-hashing how and why, as it can be "searched" here and anyone can find the other forty-two times it has been argued over.

2. It has no place, anywhere, not even in terminal areas full of non-biting hatchery fish, as no one should be practicing that type of fishing anywhere...because it is impossible to expect them to keep it in some sort of "designated snagging zone"...they'd export it to every river, for every fish...sheesh, they already have.

3. If people justify it by saying "they need something to eat", I challenge them to tell me that buying fishing gear, licenses, paying for gas, and the time spent snagging, is cheaper than going to the store and buying fish. This was true before gas prices exploded, and is triply true now.

4. Flossers and snaggers give all of us a bad name...

5. I don't care if it is difficult to do properly, or some folks are better at it than others...it's hard to rob banks effectively, too, and that doesn't make it into some noble art form.

6. Aggressively report snaggers and flossers and get them off of our rivers.

7. If it is a matter of education, then educate them so that they can recognize what flossing is, and why they shouldn't be doing it.

Fish on...
