This, my friend, is what seperates us here at WCF (as well as many other real anglers), from the folks who are just out to "harvest any living creature by any means".
Look... i'm all for catching a good shore-lunch (though I don't eat fish). But snagging, at least to me, is not fishing.
Snagging for salmon is acutally legal at certain times of the year in certain locations. I'm not sure about now though, i'll have to check.
But when I see people doing that for northerns, bass, etc., on waters that clearly forbid it, I want to snag the people doing it and stick a giant hook in their ass!
What i'm really thinking of doing is having a pdf available here on Windycityfishing of regulations that we can all download and print to carry with us. When we see someone "breaking the law" we can simply hand it to them and tell them it is something they oughta know.
