Zo,

Just wondering, are you referring to the references to the Kalama that have just recently been made? Just curious. I have never considered it a remote or obscure fishery and I've never seen it referred to as such on this board. I mean I-5 runs over it. There is a road that runs all the way up it. There are pull-offs everywhere. There are campgrounds. There are two baitshops, both of which offer reports on conditions and fishing. There are yearly gripe sessions about the snaggers. Periodically, we have advertised clean-up parties up and down the river and put the word out on the board. Then again, the subject has never been addressed directly.

I have posted reports from time to time from the Kalama, as have others who have been around on this board awhile. I used to do it a lot more than I do now. I've never really thought that those reports and postings would touch any nerves among those who disfavor publicity for lesser-known fisheries.

And I really don't know whether you are referring to the Kalama postings or have simply waited until the subject river postings have dropped off the radar screen to voice your concern in order not to draw more attention to an already sensative subject. Help me out here. I'm a pretty good-natured guy and I wouldn't want to be offending anyone unintentionally, at least not anyone with a valid concern. Even then, I ought to know if what I post might be rubbing someone's rhubarb the wrong way.
