Title: What exactly is Flossing?
Post by: ColinB on July 03, 2007, 05:52:43 AM: Flossing is a term not used in the UK and I think I have a vague idea what it means, perhaps someone could give a definitive explanation?

When I've been to BC :)[twice so far] amongst other methods, I've caught ;D by casting a spoon [Crocodile] upstream and allowing the current to sweep the spoon downstream and then retrieve. Is this an acceptable practise?

Do a search on flossing. There are a ton of posts on that subject.

That, and the fact that some guys now floss chinook in the Fraser and then will floss any salmon species silly enough to crack its mouth in most any river system is why many have become to call it 'snagging'. A dispuse surrounds the 'snagging' handle because sure, it's a method of snagging, but currently it cannot be enforced like someone using a triple hook attached to a spark plug would.

SO, there are different opinions on what to call it though so Im glad you asked as it can be confusing when all these different terms are used, especially terms that describe methods where the fish actually bite.

Love those things! Are they floss dispensers?
