i posted a question on another national/michigan site in reference to salmon fishing during there spawning run .
the group stated that 95% of the fish were snagged , only the 5% remaining were cought leagely , by there group . the debate got so rough , the post was removed , my original post was edited .
" salmon are dead when they hit the rivers , they do not eat , therefore all the salmon are snagged " . seemed to be there opinion . so is every salmon fisherman a snagger ? ( except there group of corse )
snagging is illeagle here in michigan . last time i looked we do not boarder any oceans , unless a major quake has happened you california guys just aren't talking about . so why are they dead already , i know they perish after the spawn , not before . there still eating according to the stomach contents i observed while cleaning them .
this all started over rude comments about my bft rod while fishing . they labeled me as a snagger despite the fact i used the same exact set-ups they did , just a better rod then there's i guess , i landed my fish !
are all river salmon fishers snaggers ? some facts if you have them .
i use spawn and flys , chuck n' duck method . not a tight lined trebel hook with mono loops for jaw jamming .
