Lunch time just found the crux of this problem..

These fish will bite!! it's doesn't take flossing to catch them!!!
I fish the cowlits in the summer and bring fish charging to the surface from 8 feet of water to smash a fly.. They are aggressive and will bite. Flossing them is wrong and illegal. if flossing them is the only way you can catch them well do something different..

This mentality is exactly why I think terminal fishery locations such as blue creek and the meat hole on the Lewisshould be closed to fishing fishing simply because so legit fishing actually occurs there.. Actually i shouldn't say that about blue creek because i never fish there so I don't know. However I think any fishery where most fish are snagged should be closed and if the legit fishermen are willing to tolerate snaggers in their midst the closure is their own fault..

Untolerated bad behavior goes away. tolerated bad behavior becomes common place and soon everyone begins acting badly..
