I've fished for King salmon on Vancouver Island several times (thinking of going back soon!). We were using big mepps and crippled herring lures and caught our limits in a couple days. The local dudes were crying about how they couldn't snag anymore- It just comes down to they didn't know how to catch salmon without snagging them.Change scares people.Here in Colorado we have a snagging season for kokanees and it often brings out a different type of person who don't know how to fish any other way.Most neighboring states have banned snagging and I agree.I have snagged many times and it's kind of fun-but IMHO it's just not needed.If you know how to fish it's not hard to catch them!
