Not everybody that catches fish in the fast water below the Jack dams, or the runs below the horseshoe falls is snagging or lining. I caught quite a few on Monday and Tuesday. I had some heavy tippet on early, and wasn't doing too well. I changed to 6 lb. Seagur flourocarbon, and started hooking fish, mostly on SS. I wasn't lining them with the heavier tippet, and don't consider the fish that I landed with the lighter tippet as "lined". I prefer not to sight fish, but with the water conditions that we have been given thus far this season, what else is there. I had one or two turn and chase down SS today. I landed ten, and I don't belive that any were caught illegaly.I caught one small brown that pretty much inhaled SS. If I wanted to, I could probably hook up nearly every drift, but that just wouldn't be right. Saw a guy below the first Jack dam today after them with a treble hook, probably size 4 or 6, with a single wax worm on one of the barbs. I reported him to the Officers on site, don't know hw it went down. As for as the foreign speaking snaggers, you can't shame them. The guy with his wife was up in the chutes on Monday. He was "fishing" with a bare hook with three split shots the size of grapes. I reported him also. Didn't see them on Tuesday.
