This has been posted once before awhile ago. I'll say this again. I find no problem helping with how to rigup your rod or where to lok at a river to find fish, but if you want exact timings, what exact lures to use, and where to fish you won't find it from me. I don't mean to sound snobish, but Ii'm well schooled for my 32 years. Started salmon/stelhead fishing at 7 with my Dad. He taught me how to rig my rod and how to read the water. I picked up th rest from watching him or watchiing others FISHING! I learned alot from oldtimers back in the mid/late 70's. I wasn't given info as readily as you can find it here. I had to earn their respect, then I was shared a wealth of information. I put my time and dus in to get this info. You cherish what you work hard for, and i's not something you let oout lightly. Normaly you give this info to somne you get to know well, and consider a friend. I was scorned upon by some of the oldtimers, but when tey saw this young preteen standing in the river (or plunking) in ice cold conditions and not complaining, rigin my own rod and playing my own fish well did I recieve the grand prize. I cherished the first smile I got of th old local Robie oon th lower Puyalup as he shared stories of fishing around the NW, where he fished and lures that caught fish. The more smiles an waves I got, the ore acceptance I got.

Don't mean for this to sound like a boys club, or a fraternity, but I'm more then wiling to help, but I'm not runing of and announcing my zipperlips or favorite holes. I've done tha ONCE in my life to soeone who wasn't quite a "good" friend and watched my favorite hole go to hell fast. A good friend won't hose you on a "favorite" spot to fish. Mind you somoeone else know about it too, rarely is there a secret spot anymore, but there are some that aren't "heavily" fished.

So, you wanna know what type of rod to use, or what "generic" lure to use for a certain season, then ask. But thoe of us who realy earned our info the hard way rarely will spill it on BB as this. It's too easy to get info now adays and not try and experiment. The best lesons llearned are through experience, so go experience some fishing and try and see what you can do. Find yourself a fishing buddy who knows what thy are doing and see if he'l let you into his world and share some of his expertise.
