Well I'am usually the guy that gets this story "Boy you should of been here yesterday " ... Ohh well that's why they call it fishing not catching. I have seen some great anglers in the NW but most of them log the man hours needed to learn a river and catch the fish. If you fish 7 days a week you will have a much better advantage then the weekend Angler. Retirement at 30 sounds pretty good to me would like to catch some fish before the ODFW shuts down all the rivers and I'am resorted to fishing the city turd pond behind the city shops
