#748595 - 03/19/12 10:41 AM Quick question on float fishing with eggs?
NickD90 Returning Adult Registered: 10/26/10 Posts: 259 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. Thanks in advance,

However - I would like to fish this area more and will have to fish from the bank when going solo. Hope that helps - thanks,

OnTheDrop Returning Adult Registered: 12/09/10 Posts: 389 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.

Todd Stopped Making Porn for this Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 18991 Loc: Seattle, Washington USA	Or...just use one hook. Two hooks is a good way to lose more than twice as many hooks...but not a better way to catch fish Fish on...

NickD90 Returning Adult Registered: 10/26/10 Posts: 259 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!
