Snagging, also known as snag fishing, snatching, snatch fishing, jagging (Australia), or foul hooking, is a method of fishing that entails catching a fish using hooks without the fish having to take the bait with their mouth. This is achieved by pulling the fishing line out of the water very quickly as soon as any movement is felt on the line, with the intention of piercing the fish in the flesh with the hook. Weighted lures with multiple hooks are often used to increase chances of success.^[1]

Some species, such as paddlefish, are not attracted to bait or lures as they eat plankton. While these fish can be taken using nets or spears, snagging is also used.^[2] However, for fish species that can be enticed to strike natural or artificial lures, the use of snagging techniques is often discouraged or prohibited as it is viewed as violating the doctrine of "fair chase"^[3] and has been associated with social problems and overfishing.^[4]

Technique

After first casting a hook into the water, a snagger will wait until a fish sighted, at which time they will reel in the hook until it is positioned above the fish. Once the fish is in line with the hook, the snagger then yanks on the line to "snag" the fish before attempting to reel it in. When fishing in a clear river, most snaggers will be able to observe their target's shadow or wake in the water to determine where their hooks need to be and when. To keep view of the hook, some snaggers use a brightly colored ribbon or cloth near the hook.

United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, the use of a stroke-haul or snatch, which includes any device designed to foul hook salmon, trout or other freshwater fish, in prohibited by section 1 of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975.^[56] However, this legislation rationalised a number of previous Acts of Parliament, and the use of such devices was originally banned in 1851, although at the time it only applied to the taking of salmon and trout, but was subsequently extended to include all freshwater fish. The logic behind this was that foul-hooking was not a method that was legitimate either for commercial or sporting purposes, but was used by poachers, and this was reiterated by the Blediscoe Report published in 1961.^[57]

-In the United Kingdom, the use of a stroke-haul or snatch, which includes any device designed to foul hook salmon, trout or other freshwater fish, in prohibited by section 1 of the [[Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1975/51/pdfs/ukpga_19750051_en.pdf |title=Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975 |publisher=UK Government |accessdate=August 13, 2020}}</ref> However, this legislation rationalised a number of previous [[Act of Parliament (UK)|Acts of Parliament]], and the use of such devices was originally banned in 1851, although at the time it only applied to the taking of salmon and trout, but was subsequently extended to include all freshwater fish. The logic behind this was that foul-hooking was not a method that was legitimate either for commercial or sporting purposes, but was used by poachers, and this was reiterated by the Blediscoe Report published in 1961.<ref>{{cite book |last=Howarth |first=William |title=Freshwater Fishery Law |publisher=Financial Training Publications |year=1987 |isbn=978-1-85185-030-3}}</ref>
