Wild Chrome I am not trying to be on any soapbox. Robert Allen says that fishing on the East Lewis sucks with his fly rod, and I maintain that it has been fantastic with a bobber rod. Maybe the difference is in the technique, not in the number of fish. That's all. If fly fishing doesn't work when gear fishing does, I can't see how one can blame the fish!

Actually I don't target natives. Seems kinda cruel. I prefer to eat the ones I catch, not just hassle/release them. Fishing on the East Fork Lewis has been great. I love hatchery fish!
