10/4/2016 4:39:00 AMDon't assume that you always need to pinch your bard. If you want to then go ahead but you are not required to. Only in the sound and columbia and it's tributaries is it a permanent rule. I hear this time after time. Ppl assume that you need to pinch barb just because of anti-snagging rules or they have been mislead by other fisherman who are not up to speed with regulations. Sorry to rant about it but come on guys if you don't see anywhere on the rules books about pinched bards don't dwindle your chances down by pinching your bard, epically with the limited amount of fishing we have going on and don't just go off of what someone else tells. Read the rules thoroughly yourself so you don't have to rely on someone else's misguidance.
