I was just saying maybe some of you guys who have been so opinionated on this topic may have had the thought cross your minds i never said i was a supporter or practicer of them. i sense a lot of hostility in this thread i thought this site was about sharing ideas and coming together with ideas and advice on the common ground we all share with fishing not negativity and hostility
Dynamite lol. Far more effective than snagging. But on a more serious note i am more than willing to hook up with you guys and refine my fishing skills. Just Don't teach me how to long line. I have never used a leader more than like 3' except when flat lining and i want to keep my weight as far away from my lure as to not scare the fish away as the see this big chunk of lead zooming by.
Anyone familiar with the term Long Lining? Dudes I know use that style for steelhead/salmon at the Dexter Dam. They use the longest leader they can cast. Usually around 10'. With a corkie. I guess it just lines them in the mouth. Seems to be pretty effective. Apparently you're just getting lucky to line one in the mouth? Anyone else fish like this?
Sorry just answering the original question..
I'd suggest starting a new thread about trolling.. cause this one is on the roll about snagging and flossing.

This is the reason why you shouldn't be flossing or long lining for Salmon or Steelhead. Please read this article:
I realized that I grew up learning to fish this method on the American River at Nimbus Dam as a wee. One wouldn't know any better if that's all they were taught. I could barely tie my own knots.
i understand that laws are there for a reason, and breaking them is not correct... but after reading the posting, i have a few things that i want to mention; first of all, we all live in time of age where everyone has same rights... how can anglers still snag carp or other non-game fish? i dont favor carp. but if its not ''good'' for game fish, than why is it ok for other fish? the law should go for ALL fish. Second of all, i have caught trout, crappie, flounder and a few other outside the mouth, and in most cases i was bottom fishing with bait:think: and i have caught coho's in thier bottoms ( and i was not snagging) why did that happen? i was not snagging those cohos' or trout, it just so happend. thirdly, my dad caught a dead salmon, might i add that he that he lives by the rules, not snagging or anything he pulled out a dead fish... with the setup, inside the fish's mouth... hum:think::think::think: last but not least, it does not matter if our guys in combat use a missle or a bomb... they get the job done, the bottom line is fish need respect, but for them it really does not matter how to die
and i have caught coho's in thier bottoms ( and i was not snagging) why did that happen? i was not snagging those cohos' or trout, it just so happend.
I can't believe this thread is still alive, and people are still defending the method....
