asshole fly fisher
Was fishing in old mill for the salmon run using a little cleo until a fly fisher came to me and told me it was illegal to use spoons to catch salmon. I kindly told him that it was legal to use it as long as I am not intentionally snagging and if I did foul hook one I would have to release on the spot. I caught two today cleanly in the mouth (to my surprise cause nobody was catching much even on eggs). Even two other guys came to me to check out one of my catches after seeing me fight fish in 5 minutes and said it was fair catch. Now either all three of are wrong even after doing a quick google search or this guy just wants me out cause he didnt catch shit. If I am actually wrong about the regulations someone please show me where it says spoons are illegal and Ill apologize since I didnt do my research properly. But otherwise this guy just has a skill issue and needs to get better.
