Sinker good for you. I've gotta agree..unlike last year I have seen zero enforcement in four days on the lower river. Nine out of ten fish down there are comin in tail first or sideways.

It was bad last year but not like this..at least they were writing enough tickets to makem nervous.
I'll be calling the local patrol officer Monday too see what the problem is. Most of these guys don't crowd me as they know I will politely inform them that there is open spots well above or below me. The more difficult ones receive a demonstration of the Humptulips Helicopter Cast...4 oz. pyramid I always pack with me for those special moments...whirring noise apparently makes some people nervous.

Anyway the lower river is going to rotate into a morning fishery for those big boys on the incoming tide plus we might get rain to deepen the slots down there back into holding water. Right now they just blast on through. As much as I dislike dealing with dogs I'll be hitting the upper river for now.
Maybe a few days of less fresh fish will let the skin grow back on my right thumb. Had another little piggy crank on the afterburners first cast today....but this one is soaking in soy sauce and brown sugar right now so almost everything is right in my world.
