If your point was really...really?...to point out that those who think flossing fish around here are hypocrites because they think it's ok to floss sockeye on the Kenai, then why didn't you just say that?

Seems to me that you're looking for a justification for flossing, sorry...there is none, not if you want to call it "fishing", instead of snagging.

Fish on...

Todd -

Allow me to clarify. The common theme is hypocrisy. Whether it's slamming flossing then turning around and fishing with more lethal methods (original post), or slamming flossing then doing it when in AK, many here seem to be talking out of both sides of their mouth and putting down fellow anglers in the process. It is this very "phenomenon" that prevents us from uniting as a group and saving our fisheries. We'll never be united with so much elitist "my ethics should be evrryones ethics" attitudes out there.
