I now fully understand you AkKings!

Normally I would not lower myself to your level, but sometimes we need to do it so that everyone else can understand simple little "nip" posts such as yours!

You may or may not know that I was also a guide not that many years ago on the Cowlitz. Since you have chosen not to reveal your true identity, like I have done, so be it!

Board members will draw their own conclusions.

I have chosen to let our readers know who I am, and what I have done besides just making money off them ( like some persons only care to do). Do you still believe that it is "ok" to tell lies about fishing , and how great it is to catch fish when they may not even be their on the Cowlitz, or do you even care?

What experience, besides you limited time of guiding, to you have to share with this board about the Cowlitz? Have you spent hundred of cold hours raising fish, so that all others can enjoy catching them here? Did you spend more then 5 minutes during the relicensing process (6years) to assure all your clients and the other fishermen that the "Cowlitz" will remain a viable fishery in the future…I think not…No, I know you have not!

So tell us AkKings, What have you done for the fishery on the Cowlitz other then just being a "taker"? Do you tell us when fishing is bad…I don't think so! All I hear from you is pure lip service and nothing else. If am I wrong, please tell me and this board what you have done to "improve" the sport fishery on the Cowlitz River, other then just taking from it.

Turkey day is gone, but some turkeys are still just goblin!

By the way, I live here (on the Cowlitz) and most likely will die here. I have spread both my father and mothers ashes back into the Cowlitz, and that should tell you something about my beliefs. This is a great river even those it does have its problems. I will continue to tell and inform this board of what I believe is the truth about the Cowlitz River, and its fishery, and how we can resolve those problems.

Theirs more to fishing then just making money off of it!
