9/26/2012 2:34:00 PMJust for clarity, the Duwamish falls under the antisnagging rule (I believe the follwoing explains it): Anti-Snagging Rule Except when fishing with
a buoyant lure (with no weights added to the
line or lure), or trolling from a vessel or floating
device, terminal fishing gear is restricted to a
lure or bait with one single-point hook. Hooks
must measure ¾" or less from point to shank,
and must be attached to or below the lure or
bait. Weights may not be attached below or less
than 12" above the lure or bait.
When I fished the Duwamish this year (jigging) I had a rather unorthodox jig with the jig hook cut off completely at the bend (cuz the hooks suck- Cabelas 25 pack 1/4 oz cheapo pink color I highly recommend avoiding them unless using them on pinks to find snaggy water) and then a Gamak Octopus barbless 2/0 hook looped on just below the jig like a stinger except the jig didn't have the hook since I cut it off. Had too many of those cheap jigs bend out even on the bigger pinks last year so started putting on a Gamak octopus. Finally went and got a few Aero 1/4 oz from Wholesale so can tie up a regular jig with better hook bend strength. Having the Octo just below the jig probably screws with the action of the jig so am hoping to try out an actual standard jig next week some time. Thanx for the report and glad you got a jolt of adrenaline mixed in.

Years back I made the mistake of not paying close enuf attention and was informed by a very pleasant gentleman in a uniform and sidearm that I was 3 days early to be fishing in that particular stretch of the river. it cost me in time, money and was pretty embarrassing.
