We all must do our part to help people follow the Law. I was fishing on the Green River in Cowlitz county and I must say I was embarrassed to see all the "so called sportsmen" SNAGGING THE CRAP OUT OF FISH right in front of the hatchery.

I was not very popular because I suggested that people release snagged fish. At one point I could not stand it anymore and I asked a guy if he had to blatantly snag. ( were are talking 3 O hooks and coorkie tied behing the hook. He told me to mind my own Business I told him when I see someone breaking the law that is my business. And I believe it is all sportsmens business. When you see people breaking the law don't just sit by and watch or you are no better than them.

Need less to say the bite only lasted about an hour because of all the butt hooked fish. Between three people fishing floats we landed 9 fish all hooked in the mouth. Foul hooking zero. It is a sad day when the majority snag away while nobody says anything.

Stand up for right and lets help fishermen be sportsmen!!!!!!
