Flossiing is acceptable and widely used in Alaskan Rivers with big Sockeye fish runs. The Kenai for example has escapement of over a million sockeye this year. Flossing is the most effective way to legally catch a sockeye and the fishery can sustain the fishing. The difference being that the fishery is very closely managed. No fish or low fish and the fishery is shut down. B.C. and Washington have allowed commercial/tribal interests to net our runs into near extinction. Sportsmen are allowed our "mercy allocation" just to justify the commercial/tribal rape. If the Fraser is that vulnerable to a flossing fishery it should be closed...period. I can go to Alaska and allowed to take 5 kings per year max. Here in Washington you can buy one punch card after another. Flossing...no flossing the real culprit is fishery management or in our case mismanagement. Over fishing eventually means NO FISHING!!!
