Thanx Bob! Appreciate the advice. I'll light some incense in yer honor and place it in my fishing god shrine! Don't know why the word gawdiss comes out as asteriks? Somethin to do w/a woman named gawdiss or somethin like that? Still haven't been able to get out but have managed to talk to a couple of people and I guess that there are lottsa fish in most all rivers. Also heard that the West side of Whidbey (Saltchuck) has really picked up the last few days. I haven't had real good luck catchin hatchery fish in the salt, seems like more wild fish travel where I cast than hatchery fish, and/or the wild fish bite (and usually fight) better.

Thanx again,
Roger
