Hahahaha I don't snag.. But when your drift fishing obviously you get a fish or two that get lined.. fact of drift fishing. I don't do it intentionally but anyone that has fished enough knows that.. also sometimes you'll accidently fowl hook one.
I've been to the Alsea 3 times this year for salmon. I dont go bragging and posting pics of fish I get cause I dont like crowds. :clap:

Hey man not trying to offend you by saying something bad about drift fishing, cause Im not. Let's take 'er down a notch.

I am not trying to be a bragger,I f thats what you are implying.I like to think its encouraging to peaple that are wanting to fish the alsea, to see that there are plenty of fish to be had.I apologize if that is how I come off,I dont have a problem not posting pics and updates,I fish for reasons that run much deeper than bragging rites.I f a fish is hooked in the inside of the mouth,it is technically fair hooked,how the hook got there is usually not seen by the fisherman(do you mean flossing? intentionally trying to snag in the mouth?)Sorry for getting aggro,you just rubbed me the wrong way

I wasn't refering to you as bragging.. That is cool that you give info..
But you were implying I dont catch very many fish.. just cause I dont post doesn't mean that.

Yes flossing is lining.. same thing.. Salmon are easily lined whether people know they are doing it or not. Line goes through the mouth and hook slides back into mouth.. sometimes inside the mouth sometimes outside. I'm not calling anyone a snagger or flosser. So don't be offended.

My is it fun to see some of you bicker, *****, moan & groan. Lining or flossing? That's common pratice lots of places. Waterloo Park, Wiley Creek mouth, etc. Some people are so hot to hook they don't mind doing certain things. Lining or flossing.....might as well use a Dupont Lure.:lol::dance::clap:

IMO linning is the equivalent playing one on one basketball with a 10 year old and bragging when you win. It doesn't take much skill to beat a 10 year old and it doesn't take much skill to get your line stuck in a fishes mouth either.

Damn that fish got the fist of fury! :shock:

 

[steelhead1]

fist of fury?Fish dont have hands dude.

 

[nointrntrprts]

yikes...

yikes...

on the hand in the gill plate!! that fish wont stand much of a chance after a couple fingers raked over the gills....

c&r is all good, as long as the fish is handled with care.. good on you for landing some pretty badass fish. please though, handle with care and they stand a chance to spawn.

no fish left in the alsea or what all day yesterday and nothin . river is blown out

 

[steelhead1]

My wife is just learning,it was her first fish and it was struggling when the pic was taken.Jeez,I know you guys are all perfect,but give her a break!

The first time I caught a steelie that I had unknowingly flossed I pulled it up on the bank and noticed the hook was almost inside the mouth. Almost! I thought at the time the fish had bad eyesight, what with it having missed my hook.:lol:
It was a rush letting it go though! I didn't realize then that an angler could hook 'em that way. I fished Fall Creek(Alsea) over 20 years ago when it was open in September for coho, and there were so many coho in the water that they were swimming between my legs. You could just throw a single hook in with a little yarn on it and wham! Over and over again. Ahhh. Good times then.
