HEATHEN!

SI = fly fishing bobber
Float = gear fishing bobber (west coast only)
Bobber = gear fishing bobber (the entire rest of the world)

I love how calling it a "float" somehow magically lifts social & educational status to well above that of those lowly "bobber" heathens.

I actually like "bobber" a lot. Three reasons:

1. It's an intuitive name, which improves accessibility to the sport. Ask a newbie to pull a "strike indicator" out of your tackle box, and he may get it right, but if you say "bobber," his mind is likely to turn toward a device that "bobs" or "floats." The bubbly, floaty thingy is more likely to be (correctly) selected.
2. Bobbers, lest we forget, spend a LOT more time bobbing than indicating strikes.
3. Sometimes (not a majority of the time, but sometimes), I enjoy watching bobbers do what they do. I've accepted my darkness, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I occasionally use a bobber.

All that said, "strike indicator" is much more optimistic. Maybe I should use that term more.

Back on topic: "Pole." Or, worse still, "Two-Pole Endorsement." I don't hate "poles" themselves (they can't help what we choose to call them); just the name. "Two-rod" sounds pretty stupid, too, now that I think about it. Wonder why I don't object to that as much...

I have a dream that one day the state will see the light of day and never force someone to release a hatchery-produced salmon.

In any salmon fishery, gear is already in the water impacting wild ESA-listed or depressed stocks of salmon. Impact is accruing as long as the gear remains in the water.... it does not stop until the gear is removed from the water. Allowing the retention of ANY hatchery salmon gets the angler closer to his limit faster and thus gets him off the water quicker.

Mandating the release of hatchery-produced salmon is also counter-productive to the HSRG's charge of selective removal of hatchery fish to keep them off the gravel.

Why should ANYONE be forced to release a clipped CHROMER Westport 20?

One I forgot to mention is when people call wild fish "natives". As far as I am concerned, if you are fighting natives it's a hate crime.

Where they fish, released coho are good as dead so better to count'em dead out of the gate, account for the DIRECT mortality accordingly.

Where you fish, not so much.

Native (as in co-managers).

There is no such thing. We are all immigrants; some of us just earlier than others.

The worst thing is when people use the word "club," as in "OMG guise I caught my first fish on a spoon, I'm in the bent metal club now!" or "I took ronnie down to induct him into the steelhead club." or "Jonas is about to let you in the sweat lodge club, so head on down to beaver creek and prepare your anus!" The only club in fishing is the one you use to beat fish over the head with.
