I've been on the water at times when I was the only one not setting the hook every cast...
I've reported snagging before, and the warden told me ' good luck trying to explain to a jury of peers that this guys intent was to snag a fish - all he has to do is say that he felt a bite and release any foul hooked fish and I cannot do anything...'

it sucks


This is why I have a video camera and pack it away in my truck. I don't know which warden you talked to, but he sounds like a lazy turd. I bet he never set his coffee cup down to investigate your report of snagging. The warden i talked to, after calling the hotline, showed up at thomas edy and removed a very angry Russian. Yes I said the country with the R. RUSSIA..... Those douche bags know that there not fishing legally. I know this because I had a chat with a few on the river bank.
