As Coley pointed out, flossing is not illegal in AK (Sockeye) and some would argue it's not illegal in the lower 48.

I'm gonna sign off on this discussion - there's no right or wrong, just opinion, and everyone is entitled to that.
My final thought - I consider myself a very ethical angler, a great steward of the resource, and the best ally you will have as we continue to fight to save our fisheries. I also have flossed fish before - intentionally.

And yes, I used the words ethical and flossed in the same paragraph.
Dammit, I wish you bastages would just love me for who I am.

I'm out.
