I find it interesting that a place like Minter is a joke (I've never been there) as is the Samish (Organized Chaos), Reiter etc. But at the same time, some of the same people take their $30k+ boats out to Puget Sound (can you say the 10th St launch during King Season) , fish Bumper Boats at Buoy 10, take their boats to Doge A Boat at Drano etc. And don't forget, the Pristine Experience of Steelhead Fishing the Hoh in your Drift Boat or Raft with the other 30+ boats on the same run. Hell, I've been at Nootka where your Pristine Experience was making sure the boats on either side, the ones cutting in front of you etc weren't going to play Bumper Boats with us.
The Pristine Experience does exist but it's getting harder to find with what has happened to our runs.
