And it ruins it for folks that are actually fishing. All the ripping ad slashing shuts down any chance for a good take

"Once salmon enter the river they are no longer actively feeding. Despite this, they do exhibit behaviors that make them vulnerable to traditional sportfishing techniques."
 
Me thinks many of you folks are just jealous that some have developed a successful approach to place a hook into a salmons mouth. Do anyone of you actual fish or do you just sit at the "puter" whining about others success?? I'll be at the ball field Monday and Tuesday honing my lift and set maneuver. Get off the keyboard and  join me. If I get a hook-up I'll gladly let you reel one in. See ya there. FT

While it's not really worth the effort , I will respond anyway.
They can not physically feed in late August either but many are still caught , not snagged . Why ?
I have fished the river for almost 40 years actually fishing for salmon and getting them to strike, not snagged (lined or whatever people chose to call snagging .
This debate has gone on since the beginning . Until you actually try and fish for them and figure out how to catch ( not hook ) them , folks will never change .
For that reason , I have chosen to scale back my time on the river during salmon season to almost non existent .
It's not the fishing that discourages me , it's the people's attitude towards the fish

You talk like those that want a bend on their rod and it does n't matter how you get it.Try actually to fish for them and you may be surprised to learn they do "HIT" a fly/lure if you present it correctly.If you are one of those that I mentioned I have no interest in playing with your snagged fish.If however you want to play with a fish that has the hook in it's mouth come up to the fly zone and that's where I'll be "fishing" next week.

I find it amusing that you “purist” scoff at a fellow fisherman who chooses to fish differently than you. When all is said and done the results are the same………a salmon with a hook in it’s mouth. Which I will release asap to complete its spawning routine.
 
But the “purist” are OK with agitating a male and female on their spawning redds.  Well I think that is deplorable and yinz should hang yer heads in shame. I’m fine with the lift and set maneuver, it’s just like nymph fishing or is that taboo too????   FT

I am far from a purist , just a fisherman that follows the regulations set forth to protect the future of our privlage .
It's people that could care less , by hook or crook , that put a strain on the fisherman and force the DEC to enact more regulation .
How do you troll ? By any means possible , like a drake ?
If the regulations say 3 rods per angler do you use 4 ?
If it says artificial only , do you use bait ?

What is the difference in what you are saying then if you reply no .
If you say yes , then your a crook

If that's your way of "fishing", you should pm our local Ohio troll, you two would have a great time


Big Bear, I don't snag...I don't keep fish either....You guys scoffed at my 1/0 circle hooks but they are less likely to snag, imo.  No matter, the biggest fly in my bag is 8.
