What lb test would you use for flossing a MOOSE!
By the way, why are we not measuring lines in Metric! Grams, kilograms etc!

Scalpers, take a look at the drift baits and spinning sections of this new article we just put up. There are a few points mentioned regarding how not to unintentionally foul hook fish.

Scalper 66,
Imagine a fish foul hooked in the belly and someone slams into their rod to snap the line and let the fish go. Imagine the rip in the fishes belly before the line breaks. Always realease fish gently!

Bigguy,
What are you thinking! Metric! I'm too old to recalculate things in to 4.54kg leader or 13.62kg mainline etc. Think about that next time you throw your 85g. BB in the Fraser next summer.

Maybe everyones freyed nerves are starting to heal a little after all the combat fishing on the fraser this summer...definitely things are emore civil now. ..congrats everyone!

And joedavis, you know what our mothers always said; if your not part of the answer you are part of the problem!

Save your energy and dont waste posting space hear with negative comments...if your sick of the flossing debte, for petes sake dont open a thread called Snagging vs Flossing!!! If you don't have an opinion and don't want to contribute to the discussion...just stay outta it!

I absolutely feel that flossing is no different from snagging...just close enough to the mouth to get away with it. I also feel that its a problem within the sports fishing industry that needs to be addressed.

Once again thank you to everyone who has contribute positively on this topic!

i'm with joedavis... this thread is a waste of time.
tooo many grey areas and tooo many double standards.
whether you approach it in a civil or heated manner, its a topic that will never be resolved (unless dfo lay out strict guidelines).

its because of semantics and all the grey areas that we're seeing the 'over flow' of these methods, onto the vedder and chehalis river......why should any of us be surprised?

Man, no wonder I don't post on this site anymore........I came on here today to see how the fishing was, maybe chat with a couple of old friends and all I see is a bunch of whiny elitists, doesn't any one just fish anymore?

??
this site has really gone down hill in the last year....too bad because I used to really enjoy reading posts on here....I hope you guys have fun arguing amongst yourselfs, maybe get out and fish a little more....... might cure whatever is wrong with you guys!!!
Rick.

Rick if you wanted a fishing report why did you open the Flossing vs Snagging thread??? I think you will find some good reports in the "FISHING REPORTS" section....you must have mistakenly clicked "General Discussion" right!

I don't know whats the matter with you guys (the ones who complain about the debate). If you don't want to get involved then don't...everyone is cool with that.

Otherwise every time a flosser comes in and starts flossings and snagginga whole by rippin his gear thru a nice run I am floating...the disrspect I have for this fishing method will depend and my position will be further polarized.

TrophyHunter · « **Reply #23 on:** November 10, 2004, 02:41:27 PM »

Thats my point gooey there are no fishing reports any more!!!! I checked the fishing report section and every post starts out as a report and then guickly retorts into name calling and arguing......I just happened to click on this thread and noticed more of the same, I just wish this forum would return to the way it used to be!!!!
JUST AN OBSERVATION
Rick.

Oh come on guy's.......the elusive fish season is just around the corner.......I'll be back on the water in mid January.....what about you guy's?

You betcha....walking up and down the river getting casting practice

Rodney · « **Reply #26 on:** November 10, 2004, 03:08:35 PM »

Ya, speaking of name calling, let's all label everyone as flossers but I'll stick around anyways for what reason... I'm not sure...

There aren't any fishing report possibly some have not caught a coho this season?

This came out and into the drink last Friday.

Still lots of fish out there, not exactly sure why some are whining about whining on a fishing forum. It IS a fishing forum after all....

What baffles me even more is the fact some are judging the quality of a website based on the members participating in the forum.... Yet when the moderators eliminate such name callings, the forum is apparently too tightly controlled?

It ain't no popularity contest. I couldn't care less if one forum has more members than others. bcfishingreports.com has more members, but it requires you to be a member to read the posts. fishbc has five times more members than here, but it primarily caters fly anglers. This is here for you to learn and kill some time. The fishing reports do include fishing in it, but as well as observations of what is going on out there. Thanks to posters, anglers will be aware of the big black bear at Norrish, the illegal fisheries in the Fraser, poachers in certain streams, break-ins in Chilliwack River, etc. I personally like to know where poaching is taking place, where my car would be safe, where that big black bear is so I can avoid it.

Getting the drift? It's like driving, if you start out with a negative attitude, you'll end up hating one anyway.
