I have seen snaggers on every river I have fished: Snohomish, Skagit, Cowlitz, Wallace, Lewis, Kalama...and so on.

Suggesting closing down a river just because there are snaggers on it is insane. Suggesting that someone is a snagger just because they fish a certain river is equally insane.

Many people only have a few hours to go fishing. A few hours before work, or a few hours after work. Not everyone has a boat and can devote the amount of time to fishing that some of you can.

Easy access and fish equal fishermen. It is that simple. If you see me on the Skok I will be the guy with a fly rod and flies tied on circle hooks to minimize the chance of foul hooking. And if I go, you will probably see me because I have a heart condition and can't walk that far to get away from the crowds.

So to put it bluntly, there are some arrogant elitists here who think with their gut not their head. Yes, I am offended that you think I can't fish where there are crowds and have ethics.
