Sorry about the rant, but I just want to fish. The " 'rich guy' streams" refer to the places that are closed to everyone except the fly fisherman who can afford the $300 set-up. Sure you can bargain basement the pole and line and all the rest, but if you want equipment the works well...lets just say I can not afford it. One of the ways I justify being able to spend what I do on fishing is that we eat what I catch and it supplements the food budget. I know there are a lot of 'big boat' fishermen on this site that can afford to go out and enjoy fishing and not worry too much about the expense and I think that is great and I hope that someday I will too...but I do not see it happening.
As far as my comment on the snagging rules I think that there needs to be rules and I do not keep foul-hooked fish because that is not fishing. I was commenting on the complexity and sweeping restrictions made in Washington state. Personally I think it is
that we even NEED snagging laws, but we do.
