><>er man

whole lot of steel in elk creek to the cascades how do i know the water is crystal clear you can see them not to mention all the people fishing from the access down even saw the fly guys snagging them at the blowns just above the boat launch i would like to know who the guy was fishing at the mud hole.   fly rod blue tooth in his ear snagging steel you know who you are he was the only one "catching" fish must've hooked 15 or so i watched the whole thing snagger!!!!!
i managed 4 in three days of fishing all in the lake all on cleos creeks are way too low need lots of rain!!!!!!! 

Maybe you should have called the PFBC and done something about it instead of complaining about it on an internet forum.

 
the real question should be "how do you know FOR SURE he was snagging/lining/lifting or whatever the eff you want to call it??
 
I not suggesting he was or  wasn't ...but I've seen/heard it many times before...one duud is slamming them on a day that's  slow/no  bite for  most everyone else around him...someone will invariably think he must be snagging/lining/lifting 'cause he's the only duud hammering them...and it ain't necessarily  so
 
The kid down at Platz road last year (who kept sliding closer and closer to me til he was in my back pocket)  might tell you different .
 
"kid, lemmie see the end of your line"
as i tied   "the magic fly"  on under his beach ball sized  bobber.
Set the depth, pinched on a shot  and said
 
"cast it right there, Kid"
 
as he cast out and made a big ole splash and slowly drifted appx six ft  he had one on broke off
i tied on another "magic fly", set his drag  and he eventually landed one
 
he and i were the only ones to catch any fish in the three  hours i was there
Til i got the kid hooked up, I'm reasonably sure someone from his party thought I was snagging/lining/lifting .
What they didn't know  was, the hour before they got there i wasn't catching diddly  either.
It wasn't until I happened to tie on that particular fly that they just started slamming it
 
 
..l.T.A.

Never fished with them, but fished with and around Frankie one day on Elk.  Nobody was catching, except him.  Lots of fish in low flow.  He handed my son his rod about 10 times and let him catch some feesh.  Watched his technique closely - he sure wasn't snaggin.  But everybody around said he was.  No way he could have been with the technique and bait he was using.
 
Had some duuds PO'd at me last year on Elk 'cause I had the hot hand one day - which is rare.  I was using a ridiculous bait that I had never used before - heard about it but didn't believe it would work.  They were laughing at me at first, then accusing me of lining.  I'm not good enough to line.  Even if I was I wouldn't do it.  Watched the fish move through the water to eat my stuff.  
 
A few feet can make a big difference.  A weird bait or lure can make a big difference.  Unless you're watching a duud rip trebles across the fish's back, or doing the old lift and line at the end of every drift, there's a good chance he just has the hot hand when nobody else does.  
 
And if it bothers you that much, I wouldn't bother callin' a WCO over a few illegally hooked fish.  I'd just move on.  But usually I'm busy enough minding my own business and enjoying my time on the water that I really don't notice how others are catching fish, unless they're fishing on my hip.

To presume someone is snagging fish is kinda funny.  Maybe you should get closer and actually observe what the dude is doing, you might be surprised and you might learn a different skill to catch steelhead when most are blanking.  Witnessed a dude hammering them on lower Elk Sunday for an hour and a half and I guarentee he wasn't snagging fish and literally maybe a few others had a hookup during that time.  He also was doing something nobody else was down there.   It's funny hearing the comments of some.......
 
BTW: There really were not that many fish down there  then at least.  The fish have comfort in numbers and are much harder to catch when less are there.  That is really what's going on.
 
 

Caught 3 today, all drifting sacks but was pretty difficult with the wind we had

No broken rods today
 
Just a bunch of fish with sore mouths...

That really loud short guy sucks at fishing and when he shakes his rod like that with a jig, its just a disguised treble hook with a weighted jighead. See it all the time in NY where he learned it....darn shame.

Doubt he caught 15 in the mudhole also, there is probably 15 total fish there, half of which are rock bass.

On a ****in tab...On a tab brah

Got mine On an egg brah....here's proof.

LOL

Should have kept the log, you could have used a piece of the wood to mount a real hog caught later in the year.  Any taxidermist would do it.  You could call it a hog on a log mount!
