ElkRun sorry I'll never meet you on the Quil.
Yeah it can be really disgusting in places. As thick skinned as I am it's really starting to piss me off. The real reason I'm saddened by righteous guys like you never coming back is that we'll never be able to put enough real fisherman on the river to make an impression on these idiots. Imagine a group of us taking over the best holes and teaching some lessons? Enforcement has been hitting this river with what little they have and knowing what they have it's been pretty dedicated....run into them nearly every evening on the way out...they've even had the state patrol in there.

Scaly, Jeff County has no control over fishing seasons. And I'm not seeing what your talkin about ,other than snaggin, to such a degree that would warrant closure. I am more than real familiar with this river and don't see any real significant damage to the riparian zone vegetation in the lower 2/3 of the river. There is a heavily used trail in the upper third(always has been) and a more lightly used trail in the lower third but after that your pretty much walkin on gravel. Not intending to put your ideas down but am just where your coming from? You're just are offended and want some reason to close this down? My experience in the public service arena is that a "rash" can sometimes be a very small number of individuals complaining. Haven't been on the upper river this season so I'll go take a peak...maybe you're right and I'm wrong. Peace.
