Hit the Nasty early Saturday at zero dark thirty at which time I stolled downstream to the gravel/sand bar just upstream from the I-5 bridge.
I guess I was a ready-Freddie for the kings for I had 1) a Fort Lewis base decal on my windshield, 2) a Fort Lewis Vehicle Access Pass on my dashboard, 3) a Fort Lewis Range Control Area Access Card in my wallet next to, 4) my Combination Fishing License. I agree that the requirements for fishing the river (promulgated by the Military Police) do not agree with the current base instructions (promulgated by Northwest Adventure Center), however, the MPs are the ones controlling access to the river so we will comply; and wait for the regulations to play catch-up.
Fished the same holes with a most considerate friendly fellow in a sharp looking blue boat with a jet mounted aft. We seen the fish but they were blind to our offerings. Take care of that pulled digit and will see you on the river again.....Tom
