Avoiding bad Salmon river fishing practices

[Seanook]

Thanks Musk,

I also fish the Niagara quite frequently and used bottom bouncing techniques frequently. It is only once I started reading into fishing the smaller rivers off lake O that I started to hear about guys flossing and how it was done. Some of it was obvious and some of it was a little confusing.

Every angler should want the fish to go after his lure as opposed to just running into it although I can't imagine too many setups that don't run the risk of the occasional floss. I always try to use the least impactful appraoch to fishing and would hate to be one of "those guys".

The line does apparrently seem to be very thin indeed. So if anyone sees me on the banks this weekend and thinks I'm applying a taboo technique......it's not intentional. Like I said originally I have been fishing a long time but I'm just getting back into "the Run" and I have been doing research and asking questions but until I get out there and see what is good and what is not, I'm still just learning.
