Actually there may be more hatchery silvers out there in the mix than we are seeing. The Quil run which is pretty much 100% hatchery should be all fin clipped well it's not. Running 7 unclipped out of the 17 I chose to bonk this year. STHDR1 hey report as you catch'em as long as you are willing to divulge a few secrets. If not report'em anyway as it don't bug me a bit...this being a free country and all. Someone don't like your posts then they have the absolute freedom to not read'em! As for 4X4 did I see you last Saturday on the Quill? I mean really... army surplus boots, bib-overalls, no shirt, tattoos, goatee beard and shaved head? You were there with your whole family who likely met and found there mates at a family reunion? Your clan was salvaging bits and pieces of weights, hooks, loose line of all lengths/weights and every scrap of yarn they could find. Gawd they were even sticking the one Zebco between them into a rootwad trying to tickle the fish out. Until then I thought your type only existed on the boob tube! I really did see this on Saturday...and it still gives me something to laugh about after everything else I've seen.

Thoroughly worn out Gooose but

recovering!
