They should be giveing out tickets for jerking as hard as you can then casting again and doing that every cast. I would call that snagging.
more than likely, writing up some of the dummies snagging right there in front of stevens creek. not very bright going out in front of a hatchery where the workers are avid fishermen themselves and not expecting to get busted for that kind of thing.

jigs are perfectly legal in "anti snagging rule"(i really hate that term) waters, as they're considered a lure.


No kiddin! I witnessed more snagging than I have ever seen on the river. I relate it directly to having certain rivers closed this fall drawing more pressure to rivers that were/are open. Jigs are legal there and are as many know an excellent way to take both Coho and Chinook if fished properly. The down side is a few people who can't catch fish legally or don't want to will ruin it for the guys and gals who do.
