[quote PACKFAN]Thanks for posting Pat, looks like it's just about time for the "Snag Fest" to begin. [:/][/quote]
[#0000ff]Disgusting, ain't it? Can't believe how many "naysayers" dispute the eyewitness accounts of we who have witnessed the treble hook assault of the happy harvesters.
I wanna barf when I get that "Well, it gives everybody a chance to catch walleyes." That is the same stuff they were dishing out back in the early days when the walleyes ran up the Provo...and it was open to wholesale snagging. I actually had old goobers justify the use of their "Provo River dry flies" (weighted trebles) by claiming that walleyes do not hit baits and lures.
It is gratifying to see DWR making supplemental plantings of walleyes in Willard. But there is just something fundamentally wrong in allowing such a blatant assault on those fish that are instinctively drawn up into that flowing water. That was shut down and monitored for many years. The result was more and bigger walleyes. Hmmmm?
Edit: There were several trucks parked in the designated parking area yesterday...for those who fish the inlet. I did not have the time to go down to see if they were scoring anything or not. I'll bet that parking area fills up fast when the fish start showing up.
