i once took a friend to look at the kings stacked in purdy creek. we parked at that old burger stand there on 101, crossed the highway and walked the trail in a bit. we could hear those fish rolling before we even got close to the water, there were several hundred crammed into the creek. when we got back there a couple hundred yards we ran into a couple guys "fishing", don't think either of them had slept in a couple days let alone shower or brush their teeth. it was the end of july, it was indeed open at the time, but it was only for trout and of course selective gear. after getting a giggle off of listening to these yahoos for a couple minutes, i asked them if they were aware of the regs. naturally neither had a clue so i asked if they were familiar with selective gear rules and the guy says "sure, these fish are partying dude, and it's select whatever gear you want". nothing to do with "sky anti snagging rule" but what the hell. the rule needs to be revised and clear. and even then it won't stop the inevitable.
