#748595 - 03/19/12 01:41 PM Quick question on float fishing with eggs?
NickD90 Shooting Instructor for hire Registered: 10/26/10 Posts: 7204 Loc: Snohomish, WA	When float fishing eggs from the bank, can a guy legally use a two hook leader rig ala side drifting from boat...or does it have to be a one hook leader only? I can't find it in the regs - if anyone knows of the page number where it is found, please let me know.

I don't own a boat, but primarily fish from one when my buddies are going out. However - I would like to fish this area more and will have to fish from the bank when going solo. Hope that helps - thanks, _________________________ “If the military were fighting for our freedom, they would be storming Capitol Hill”. – FleaFlickr02

OnTheDrop Returning Adult Registered: 12/09/10 Posts: 405 Loc: Western WA	Now: 2 hooks OK After April 1st: No Anti-Snagging Rule Except when fishing with a buoyant lure (with no weights added to the line or lure), or trolling from a vessel or floating device, terminal fishing gear is restricted to a lure or bait with one single-point hook. Hooks must measure ¾" or less from point to shank, and must be attached to or below the lure or bait. Weights may not be attached below or less than 12" above the lure or bait. When anti-snagging rule is in effect, only fish hooked inside the mouth may be retained.

NickD90 Shooting Instructor for hire Registered: 10/26/10 Posts: 7204 Loc: Snohomish, WA	Awesome - thanks guys! Been hitting the Cow every couple of days out of the sled for B runs. It's been w/ mixed results. The weather has been typical march schizo madness. Rain, sun, hail, sun, snow, wind, sun, rain, repeat. I got a nice little 5 - 6 pound nate yesterday which surprised us. Waiting for the springers to start showing in numbers and lower water...c'mon lets go already! _________________________ “If the military were fighting for our freedom, they would be storming Capitol Hill”. – FleaFlickr02

Dan S. It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.
