I do like to BS about my fishing, 'specially if I catch something or if I don't, and I don't really mind telling the people where and when, but I'm pretty much talking about name brand times and places. I also think it's real cool sharing techniques - I've picked some good shait off this board, and hopefully helped a few folks with shait that's worked for me. I don't mention ZLs, and don't talk about how well I did steelheading very much unless it's on the Cow in December But this year I've been salmon fishing more than steelhead - get on these kicks and the steely streams have been kind of crowded down my way anyway. I don't like the b!tchen and whinen threads so I don't open any that have the word "hook" in them, but I do like the general caliber of people on this board - there are some well fish-educated folks posting here. So let's not bash WDFW or each other too much - we all screw up and we've all done a bunch of things wrong, but we all have a bunch of good things to contribute too. And Gooose and the boys (and girl) aren't being elitist GOB/Gs, they are just being the rocks that the river runs over. Damn, gettin' mushy - a Monday after a good weekend of fishin' will do that to me
