Took my dad fishing today and believe it or not he hooks and we land a very nice fourteen to fifteen pound wild Steelhead. I wonder where it was headed?? Thompson? Maybe some one can shed some light on where it might have been heading for. We were fishing in Agassiz area. Really a pretty fish, nice surprise and always a pleasure to see. Made me wonder how many are getting caught and killed in the commercial and First Nation Fisheries and even by hook and line fisherman? Hopefully it has an uneventful trip the rest of its journey up river! :) Sorry no pic's as I wanted to get it back in the river as quick as possible.

I would not have even posted about it. If you were flossing its just another reason why it should be banned. Most likely a Thompson.
-
at least he knows his fish and released it ;). saw a steelhead caught last a couple weeks ago...it was bonked... :-\ :-[

At least you are doing the right things and better than a lot of idiots,they dont even know how to i.d those fish.They just bonk anything they pull in ::)

Oh whatever Eddie, Obviously he is flossing , funny thing is your the first one to say something, what about the coho getting caught, give it up just cause you think that flossing should be banned doesn't mean everyone else thinks the same, he is just posting saying what they got at least he didn't bonk it like the other guy did a few weeks ago
Well said.

I'll second that

Let's say...if he were using the other method and that steelhead hit it, should the other method be banned as well? ::)

Give it up? No I will not give it up, who made you the king of the forum. I am allowed just as much right to post my opinion as everyone else. If you don't like my opinion that's too bad for you. I am going to post my opinion when I feel it is necessary. Want another opinion? Taking hero shots of snagged sockeye is not impressive. I can go and get my fish from the commercial fishermen and take pics and it would be about the same. Would I take pics of me holding a fish I bought. Nope.......
Have a nice Day.

I have tons of friends. He would not be one. All I did was state my opinion than he went after me on it. I as well as everyone else on this forum are entitled to their opinion. Nobody needs to get all bent out of shape. Their are constructive ways of replying to ones opinion and then their are negative ways. He seems to choose the negative just showing how intelligent he really is.

I never slagged him for it. Re-read my reply. How is snagging a steelhead cool anyways?
-

what the hell? yea you did. Im saying its cool beacause it doesnt happen everyday. Then you say ". Their are constructive ways of replying to ones opinion and then their are negative ways" well everything you say is negative and as you can see everyones getting sick of it.
-
Do you know for a fact that it was snagged or are you assuming that it was ? Sheesh

I said " I would not have posted it " that means what it means and it is not slagging him at all. Well you can read it anyways you like. Everyone is getting sick of it? Its because 90% of the members on here are flossers that's the reason. Just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I should keep my mouth shut. Maybe one person out of 100 well read what I wrote and it just might change their mind about flossing. If it does than I have made a difference. Without reading other peoples opinions you will not learn. if everything was one way, life would be too boring. We would have no choices in life.
FA I said "IF" you were flossing. Maybe before posting a comment read the reply thoroughly before posting you ridiculous comments.

Wow, wait just a bit there Bryan... ;D
People, it's 11pm, stand away from the computer please, and relax. It's a steelhead that has been released.

I know its exaggerated Rod but these people that are replying are reading into something that just isnt there. I simply stated my opinion and never slagged anyone in it. Than all these guys come out of the woodwork and start ripping into me. I can take it as I am a big boy but it would be nice if we debated about factual statements instead of just ones that are made up....
-
Brain man, really!! I don't see how your approach is working, I know you and even I am sitting here rolling my eyes when you make comments like,
Their are constructive ways of replying to ones opinion and then their are negative ways. He seems to choose the negative just showing how intelligent he really is.
and,
Taking hero shots of snagged sockeye is not impressive. I can go and get my fish from the commercial fishermen and take pics and it would be about the same. Would I take pics of me holding a fish I bought. Nope.......
To me those sound a lot like slagging. That is just my opinion though!! ;)No need for another one of these useless threads. There are plenty of "opinions" in a lot of topics already without this one! :)
-
The only reason I said that about the hero shots was because FF asked for it. He seems to try and bully people sometimes and with me he cant do it. That was totally directed at him and nobody else. It was more of a sarcastic remark than anything else.

Eddie i know your a good guy from what i read. Ive never flossed i just couldnt understand some of your reasoning on prev posts. Rods right lets all just go fishing

Eddie, we all now that flossing is about as selective as bar fishing is with respect to Steelies as your friend firstlight proved last year. The issue here is whether or not the river should be open. If there is a concervation concern then shut the river down for all sectors. If there isn't leave it open so everyone can get their fair share of the pie. Please do not bring flossing into it.
As an aside, I don't think you can say for sure what run this fish is from. Could be a Thompson, could be Coq, could be one of a number of upper Fraser rivers with summer runs. Same thing can be applied to scokeye. It's rather annoying when someone claims that a fish they caught was an Adams fish or a Horsefly fish. The only thing that is certain is that it is a late summer fish. Could be from the Adams, Scotch, Seymore, Eagle, Shushwap etc......

Firstlight never caught a steelhead barfishing last year. It was someone else on the same bar as us. The steelhead actually took the offering unlike when you snag a fish. Its not a sporting chance for a fish when they are flossed and thats my point. Your right it could be one of a few runs where that fish was headed.
OK I am done with this. When you read this FishFreak and if you want a response just PM me as I wont be replying to this thread any further.

Your missing my point (or at least not acknowledging it). When it comes to our precious steelies, barfishing is every bit as unselective as flossing. There is no way you can bring flossing into this. Albeit flossing will get more fish due to the fact far more people participate in this fisherie. But what if everyone out there that flossed only barfished and put in as many rod days? Same affect.
