I saw this fishing for the first time last week and was astounded that it is legal. Not only are 3 out of 4 fish being snagged but the fisherman (if you could call them that) were rude and arrogant. I would never bring my family there. Most guys were reefing on their rods with every bump or every few seconds. It seems to me that fisheries should regulate this (use single barbless hooks) or stop it altogether. I would rather fly fish that hole!

i call them jerks every little bump and snag pull hard and jerk your line .i didnt go to that school.FISH ON !!!!!!!!

Howaiian is right in the fact, that there is no way in proving that a fish voluntarly took you lure. This is an area once again, where our laws, make no sense, as spinnerman pointed out the rule that any fish caught in the eye, or gills should be kept. What conflicting rules! You, that think that there is no difference between drifting your bait in a fishes mouth, and using a 3 ounce weight, a treble and ripping chunks of flesh are crazy! What we are talking about is an issue of ETHICS. There will never be a way to stop all snagging, but what can be done is get rid of trebles, and maybe even have weight restrictions on certain streams. just my two cents. Oh and I have seen Salmon go up and hit baits with there tail on occaison, not that it means any thing.
