I think they are tossing this out now due to the upcoming closed spawning season
No you just floss there teeth now👍👍
I foul hooked a lake trout once. Watching them chase my lure on a vexliar from 60' up to about 10 feet below the ice. At that point I looked down the hole and could see them just bumping my lure with their mouths closed. After sever attempts at trying to entice them to bite by aggressively jigging, I hooked 1 in the side of it's head. Talk about trying to get a fish through a hole kinda sideways was almost impossible. To you theory, I guess it can happen but I doubt it's a targeted approach. Before you call me a dirty snagger, the fish was released due to foul hooked. I was not going to break off a $5.00 jig in the fish like those salmon guys do with $0.50 guide flies . Trying to get a fish to strike the lure was the intent.Finally, have you never had a trout take a swipe at a lure or fly and end up foul hooking it ?Geesh, save that snagging stuff for the wannabe hero fishers. There have been lots of threads and concerns from people and the Dec over walleye fishing when the creeks thaw prior to March 15th .I think that's what the message is about above from the Dec As well as STAYING within the limits of creel.
But in the old days river salmon needed to be force fed. Now they bite.
