Episode 24 - The Poor Economics of Flossing Sockeye

Flossing Sockeye makes no cents? A trip to the grocery store today shows how it makes more economical sense to buy Sockeye Salmon from a commercial source than it does to snag/floss sockeye in the summer. For less than the price of the gas to drive to the river, I got a nice, delicious, fresh sockeye salmon.

ok but the fun is to catch fish not just to go to the store i understand were ur coming from i just spent 240 dollers on a stuiped rod but hey its funfor me

[ScreamingReelsTV]

@McgeeNineTeen yes it's a lot of fun to CATCH fish. This involves a serious commitment of time, effort, skill and a lot of luck to get out to a location and TRICK a fish to bite. Just tossing out a line and snagging fish, with no trickery, skill or luck is pretty sad and pathetic. If you want to CATCH fish, set yourself the challenge to TRICK a fish to bite, it will be far more rewarding.

if ur so against snagging then why do u eat fish that geat caught by gill nets and the fish suffer and have no chance of escaping when if u floss atlleast they have a chance get ur topic straight gill nets are worse so ur supporting somthing even worse by buying that fish...

@McgeeNineTeen this video is about how much money people spend to go and snag fish. It's more economical to take fish from a commercial source than it is to go snag fish. i fish for sport, not for food. sport fishing means tricking a fish to bite.

why does anyone fish? because its gratifying and fun. we live in a place with an amazing natural resource and you make it seem like a crime to utilize that. I'd hate to ask you what you think of first nation salmon fishery...if i ever caught you filming me flossing id probably try and floss you buddy...

[ScreamingReelsTV]

@kushfourlife It is a crime to snag fish, read the Section 10 of the BC Sport Fishing Regulations of the Fisheries Act. Summary offence, ergo a crime. Aboriginal fishing is a constitutionally protected right. Maybe instead of being an internet tough guy, try reading: R V Sparrow, R v VanderPeet, Delgamuukw v BC, R. v. N.T.C. Smokehouse Ltd, and section 35 of the constitution. As a non-aboriginal, I have a privilege to fish for sport, but as a sportsman I have a duty to promote good ethics.

Its illegal in Alaska too. If you go down below the mouth of the Russian, it just is criminally stupid. Everyone is flailing the water with a coho fly bent open, and always a snagging at the end of drift. People pushing into spots right on top of other people, fights breaking out, and no room for the kids.

I dont know what the answer is to make it go away, except by limiting the weight used by making a sink tip the only legal way with an un weighted fly, which can work really well.

flossing is gaye, thanks for taking the time to post this

[TheFisherman656]

oh god dont even get me started.

Flossing sockeye IS FUN> fishing isnt all about the table fare. People actually find it fun to go catch their own fish your such a douche.

SO ITS BETTER TO NET A FISH THAN FLOSS IT? more ethical? You sir, suck ass.

[hattrickster33]

Looks like you pissed off a lot of guys who think flossing means they're good at fishing.

@screamingreelstv i do that as much as possible as well i go to the coquitlam river and fish for springs coho chum and steelhead as much as possible! and yes it is more rewarding when u trick it into biting
