He just couldn't wait to give me that ticket even after watching me catch my chinook in legal water. Fishermen just can't be trusted... flog


Hatch, so what you are saying is that if the reverse is true, I get to keep the fish, right??
Just messin' smile , but it does pose an interesting concept....Which end of the line counts???? If I keep the boat over the legal depth, can I let the current carry the business end of my presentation into the depths?

People who dream up regs like this actually don't fish, do they?

I'm thinking next is a reg that states that you may not use any line longer than 120 feet in length. rolleyes
