RR -

Not trying to argue - trying to understand. So...is it OK then to floss when in AK if I am going to harvest the fish? What if I am goingt o C&R? What if I am fishing in the lower 48 and I plan to harvest the fish - a straight up harvest of meat - is it OK then? Or is it always taboo once you cross the border with AK?


There is no argument.

Floss fish all you want, I don't care, but just don't say there is any sport in it. Just like flossing reds on the Kenai or whatever. I wouldn't have a probelm doing it (because it is legal), but I also wouldn't classify it as sport fishing.

You can cork your bat, improve your lie, stack the deck, or floss your fish I don't care. It is not sporting and without the sport, what is the point? There are a lot of unwritten rules in the sports world, if you willingly choose to break them that is your call, no one else's.
