Gigmaster,
You have a long hard battle to fight if you're going to change a tradition of bait fishing!
When spinning equipment crossed the Atlantic after WW2 our local flyshop owner said...Thats the end of fly fishing unless we outlaw it. It wasn't the end...some of us limited our methods and our catch while others carried onion bags full of fish home with them.
People who are otherwise upright and law abiding become scofflaws of the worst type when it comes to game laws.
Wardens and judges who won't enforce the laws lead me to suspect that they wear dark clothing as they sneak along the trout streams, scurrying from tree to tree not to avoid being seen by the trout...but by other fishers as they plop hudge nightcrawlers into the riffles.
The only answer is to enforce the game laws and that may mean big fines! Thats the only thing that works. Too bad but thats the way it is.
Ol' Bill
