Steelheadman good for you giving that kid a small bit of help. Had a kid come up to me and ask me what I was doing? Told him I was just having fun hooking them legal and then releasing them. His innocent reply was "Oh, your sportfishin." Told him that was the legal way to catch them and it wasn't hard to learn if he'd try. His next question was "snaggin not's legal?" This kid was totally innocent of the rules...he totally believed that it was the legal way to catch these fish! Something is definitely broke in the greater recreational sportfishin community and I'm saddened to see it.
Yes allowing us to use eggs would certainly make these fish more catchable(legally). Last time I used eggs on these fish fresh out of a hen they just when beserk on them.
Hey if you want to hit the Duck/Dosie for winter fish send me an e-mail. There's fish there...one spot is pretty much guaranteed hookups...it's just a matter of how fearless you are of heights, slippery rocks and whitewater . The Quil is real low but there is a late afternoon evening run and the fish are superb if you fish down low. Saw and was briefly attached to some real knobnosed bucks...one was hooked and lost on consecutive drifts. Not keepin any...not even serious about landin them...tends to disturb the snaggers.
