Like it or not. A fish that has a hook in the gillplate forward is legal. Now I am sure if someone yanks the rod nine times per drift is a separate issue
Well in some rivers gill plate forward is legal, but not the Quil or the Skok. Both have special rules that state "In the mouth"
The Quil is done. I went there last week and saw a mix of chum, dark coho and tons of snaggers. I was tossing a small vibrax in one of the only holes I could and finally nailed a couple, that bit...
