DFO was at the cable pool this morning . but no snaggers around only a few fly guys. So he just stood at the view point and watch only....I guess wrong timing  >:( :-\

the more calls they get, the high frequency those visits will become.  I think the mid day and early afternoon crowd are the clowns though so hopefully they work on their timing.

The way they are fishing or snagging fish, they don't need to fish at first light. Fish are snagged up the rock mostly without the fish's cooperation (oop! I mean biting).  ;) So DFO should show up during more civilized hours to catch these snaggers.

Natives are not allowed to snag fish even if they are on "their" land or reservation. They HAVE to follow the sport fishing regulations just like any other angler. The only time they don't have to follow the rules is when they have a ceremonial permit and the permit will dictate the method(s) allowed to be used, but it will never say "snag fish" it will say dip net, beach sein, set net, etc.

I was fishing the lower Cap the other day with a spoon, when on two separate occasions, I was told it was easier to fish the pools and snag fish. 

Education is needed.

Thanks for the info everyone.  I plan on hitting the river this weekend and the lure suggestions are much appreciated.  I might stop by the Cable Pool and watch the chaos.

The Cap is as low and slow as can be. Watch for this camera shot:

If it is at 1, it is not worth trying. If it is below 1 as it is now, save the gas unless you just want to be in touch with nature.  ;)

People should have to take a course to get a fishing license , just like we do to go hunting. I think that would take care of a lot of problems.

X 2

x3 and could potentially raise funds for more and better enforcement. I would be ok with paying a bit more for a test as long as it went to an angling form of enforcement or maybe CO's need a seperate fishing division.

Nice fish. Is that a jig? Thanks for posting it. The river flow seems to be what it was a few weeks ago. So is this fish from a while back? That seems a steep slope. Hang down the rope?  ;)
