Has anybody ever brought it up to DWR and what do they have to say about it? Why don't they just close off Linwood Oct 15-Nov 15 (instead of only at night)? I could only assume a DWR (or any CO) presence for that matter sitting on the banks and spot scoping would help curb the unlawful activity. Even warning signs at the launch's during the spawn, (kinda like they do out at Willard at the inlet during the Walleye spawn) would help.

Its all good LakeDrifter, I understand the sarcasm, my only point (which I didn't mean to direct at you) is that there are so many jigging techniques. I've jigged with a slight 2" twitch, I've jigged with a 6" slow lift, I've jigged with a 12" moderate lift, and I've jigged with a 18"-24" jolting yank.
I can honestly say that when I've aggressively jigged (quick 18"-24" yank and slow fall) I've caught more fish on Flaming Gorge than when I twitched any 2" - 12" jigging motion.
My bad if my 18"-24" yank is considered snagging, I can honestly say I'm not trying to snag anything, rather I am trying to attract fish and waiting for the "knock" on the fall. And yes, I do hook fish quite a bit when I'm jigging (yanking), and rarely snag anything.
And no, I don't fish those rock piles, I fish up by Buckboard, Holmes and Anvil. Headed up Thursday again, hopefully nobody calls me a snagging guy!
I can only hope that the jigging technique that they like is the 2"-6" twitch.
