Todd- I don't know how you think you came across in your posts about the "so called" experts and the 9 ft. leader guys in the yellow sled, but to alot of us it was a direct slam to "those" guys of which have done as much as anyone in backing our fisheries with their time and money. I think you should really think about how offensive your comments are before you state them. In the snoho coho fishery are some fish lined...no question. But, I have fished with these experts many times in the exact location you are talking about and lined fish or snagged fish are released unharmed and the ones kept are the biters. As RR stated color day to day can make all the difference in getting the biters! I don't know you personally and from what I understand you do many good things for fish and fisheries, however so do your "so called" experts and I will go to bat for them and any time!
