Great video of guide snagging fish

this is lifting / snagging at its finest........what a hypocrite

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvl2kMMCsiU&feature=related

old salt---what makes it funnier is that he even states that you don't have to do all that chuck and duck crap !!!! hahaha he says: don't have to RIP, just kinda lift it up nice and easy !!!! yeah OK--- that video is soon to be an Instant Classic

Now I know why I'm only a 10% er  and sometimes all the way up to 50/50. My usual manner would be to let the fly go all the way downstream from me and then roll cast back to the run. Learn from the pros.

 
I'd say border line DEC ticket, from what I've seen they really go after the guy's that are unquestionable, we certainly know what he is doing, but DEC usually look for the guy's with the full on jerk in the middle or end of drift.
 
Enough said for this guy's 15 minutes of fam...... I mean flounder.

Sno fense sno fense sno fense!

I'd be the guy down stream..

Anyone else see he kept slamming his rod tip into the water too? Wow- what a pro. I hate that end of the drift rip stuff. A Holes.

The humping the rod motion clinches it. This video is like watching a 13 year old. Some people never mature. If this guy is seriously a guide I hope he shows that video to every prospective client.

When is this guy going to get fined? video evidence!!!!!!

How much weight is on there? The splash looks like somebody threw a brick into the water.

That was my first reaction, too. Looks like a 3.0 oz pyramid sinker. I use less weight catfishing.

The tool of a fisherman / guide still has the video up on You Tube, but has deleted all the appropriate comments calling him a snagger and or a hypocrite.......I have been blocked, so I can't comment on his video.......

ahhh....he removed the video..........

The funny thing about it is that the guy was not "Blatently snagging or lifting", and as others have stated correctly, DEC fish cops would have walked right by him. 
 
Sure, the guy is an idiot and should know better if he is a guide, but he fits right in with 95% of the other SR experts playing the same game.
 
Enjoy your RAT BADGE ........  

Well then, in that case, you should have done a better job of "CLEANING UP DODGE CITY" back in your Sherrifin days.... but I'm sure your Superiors told you to back off because you would have chased 98% of the fishermen away from the SR... (after youze guys changed the rules and stopped encouraging folks from RIPPIN with CRICKET ROCKETS).

p.s. - if you consider that as Blatent Snagging and Ripping, you are sadly mistaken.

p.s.s.- WCO's/DEC do not oversee NY Guides... But I guess you knew that......


Keep sending them RAT messages into Command Central. Maybe they'll pull you out of retirement and add your name & # to the back of a LOTAC card....
 




 

DrakeTrutta......cyber bully...always looking for a fight.......don't oversee NY Guides??? All I stated was that the guy is a guide and should be held to a higher standard......and that snagging is snagging no matter who is doing it, but with a guide---held to a higher standard.......wasn't reporting him for being a shoddy guide.....reported it because he was doing what he was doing.....snagging reported to DEC......all else to forest rangers or some ****.....right??? since they regulate the guide aspect of it......

and DUDE.....retired conservation officer ..........NOT DEC officer........get with it...Hmmpfff

and where I worked---snagging was snagging.......and a ticket was written......superiors were rather happy......

PA resident........and sorry dude......everyone wants the Salmon River to be some pristine destination, world class angling type of place........if you want that......then enforce the rules on the book......if in any way, shape or form that GUIDE was fishing........well, then I must be really doing it wrong.......I'd rather the salmon take my fly vs. my fly take the salmon in the Azz

and most of all who chimed in on his TECHNIQUE for fishing the salmon river video, stated a he was snagging, lifting, certainly a ticket......

my goodness man..........THINK

last breath wasted on DrakeTrutta..........

2bone - flash your badge to someone that gives a ****.
You want to impress me and alot of other folks - send an email to the DEC and tell them to start cracking down on the clearly blatent illegal behavior in easily accessible spots along the SR. 
 
I make no bones or contentions to transform the Salmon River into some pristine place. It is what it is. A man-made cash register.
And I will continue to laugh at the so-called altar boys and C&R cretins that want to change the world, but don't have the sack necessary to 
confront someone on the river face to face but instead run to the internet to complain after calling the 1-800-RATLINE..
 
The SR - unnaturally stacked with tons of fish so that thousands of folks will visit the area and stick fish in the face so they get a chub..Yes - I am one of them chubhunters....
 
Funny how Chuck & Duck was widely advertised as the best method to hook into the SR beasts in the very recent past.
 
Too bad NY outlawed the sale of small lead shot - that shiney tin crap he had on his line only made the splash more dramatic on film.... 
 
Good thing I live in Pa and have boxloads of the real thing....
