It's true. I read a press release from Weyerhauser a month ago stating that, indeed, they had had enough of the vandalism and trashing of the land and equipment.

However, if I remember correctly, on the toutle the main raod will still be open up to the 4100 bridge barring fire danger; then the whole show will be closed.

My buddy was down earlier exploring the green and said there was a gate across the road not to far up from the highway. So, it is possible the upper river will be off limits for awhile. It would be nice if they at least kept the mainline open so all us honest guys don't get punished.

The last few times I have fished the south fork (winter and summer) I have noticed ALOT of trucks loaded with quads and dirtbikes heading upriver to play. This undoubtedly figured into the mess.

Once again, the honest guy takes it in the a** and has to pay the price for the idiots that ruin it. Even at the risk of losing some good fishing water, I can see weyerhauser's point of view and I can't say that I blame them.

Hopefully, things will settle down and they might re-consider....let's hope so!
