I know there are other fisheries.....my problem is Age, 79, and bad knees.....I'd love to be able to walk in a few miles and fish in a quiet area.

I always get a kick out of public meetings......younger generation people throw up ideas on, "no boats in certain areas" or want "drift boats only".....I loved it when I was younger, 50 years ago, very few drift boats on any of the rivers in Grays Harbor and very few sleds.......I did the walk bit, then the drift boat, now jet boat......oh, I still drive to certain areas, and carefully walk down the bank.....then pray, not many others there.....and now its hope there isn't a drift boat or two......

You'll all be there some day, age wise----as Salmo g., Carcassman, WN1A, Slabhunter, and many others know.......best future fishing seasons really will be nothing compared to the "old days"

I'd pay thousands more for a license....if I could take 50 - 60 years off my age..


I dont bank fish or do any hike in fishing, which there is alot of, i have a large sled and small sled a fish all different species of fish and never have a shortage of places to go or fish to catch. Try something new for once you might be surprised at whats out there. Lets just get past this closure and get back to fishing.
