OK this is going to be a semi-rant. I am sick and tired of the attitude that I've been getting from some of the local people on the rivers that I fish. Locals that are interfering with Herms broodstock program, because they don't want more people on "their" river. Locals that make me feel like I have to thank them for letting me float down the Nooch. Locals that bar access to public land because they don't like all the people on "their" river. Locals that build meth labs on Weyerhauser land, vandalize equipment and get my hunting areas gated. Last but not least I don't like the locals that I saw yesterday fishing the upper Sop. Four of Grays Harbor Counties finest come strolling up with beers in their hands, crowed right in on a small hole and drive me off. I walk down river to the next hole and 10 minutes later here they come. They fish, drank and smoked dope for a little while and then head off to find the next spot to spoil. I decide that I'd had enough and left. But before leaving I stopped to pick up 3 beer cans and one empty pack of smokes. Stop back at the next hole and pick up 3 more empty cans. So the next time you local people are *****in about all the out of towners that are spoiling "your" rivers rememble that there are a few of you doing it too and a few townies that care enough to clean some of it up. Alright I'm stepping off my soapbox, because I need to clean all the empty beer cans out of my truck.
