snooooreeeeee.
seriously. who cares. inside the mouth. leave it at that. who gives flying ballsack if they floss it up in the mouth. write them a ticket for snagging if they snag.. otherwise go CLEAN UP TIDEWATERS< SEINING<COMMERCIAL NETTING. fix the hatcheries, and get some real work done for my 60$ f***** license.
i floss. im damn good at it. i know how to fish, i know how my gear works under water and exactly how my presentation looks under the water. Any good drift fisherman will accidentalyl FLOSS a fish eventually. its just good drift fishing. your getting your gear down to to where the fish are at. Leader length makes it easier for sure. but ive flossed fish on a 24" leader in faster water.
do i floss all the time? nope. its last resort. But im not wasting 40$-120$ in gas, shuttle, and a day off to come home MEATLESS. sorry. if i plan on relesing fish, no i dont floss. considering that our fishing opportunities are getting cut, limits going down, restircitons left and right. i want my moneys worth. so suck it.
make it illegal. i have great attorneys. ill still do it. Or pay the fine. but it wont come to that. ill get out of it. because its bogus, and very hard to prove.
i think instead of focusing on somethign that makes very little impact on overall ecosystem health, we should focus on the other things that DO...like the puyallup system, sol duc hatchery program, netting schedules and over harvesting in the lower rivers by ALL colored people.
