So I was charged with a gross misdemeanor for "snagging Salmon". Punishable by up to a year in jail and $5000 in fines. Problem is I had no fish on the bank and was using a barbless hook and a corky. According to the game warden who had been watching me for at least half an hour(didn't know I was so interesting) , the lure I was using(orange corky) would not produce fish to bite and is only used has a tool for snagging. He told me that my method of casting in and yanking the pole is illegal. I tried to explain that I only yank or as we fishermen call it "set the hook" if I feel the bump of the fish on my corky has it floats down stream. The same way thousands do on every river everyday. The guy refused to listen to me even to go so far as to tell me " I hate you bubbleguming poachers". I have never poached in my life. I am always careful to learn all the rules of an area I am in and follow them. In fact I don't even have a barbed hook in my fishing vest at all. It was not my tackle he had the problem with just the way I hook set. So now I am a criminal all for a lil fishing(haven't yet been to court). I will now boycott this state for all fishing and hunting, mushroom picking, camping, and any other recreational activities that will put money in their hands. See you all in Idaho
