I have been given a permit to fish spin gear, in fly only waters any place in the state that has the fly only regs. This gives me access to some prime spots in this state. NF Stilly, Skagit, Upper Hoko,etc. I have only used this permit on three trips to the coast and once up north. On two of these trips I have been blasted by fly guys who demand to know what the FU-- I am doing in their spots without a fly rod, and i am catching fish and doing the proper CNR thing, I am respectful of the resource I never brag,boast,flaunt,and i avoid the other anglers as much as possible. But on two trips i have come back to my rig to find damage and endured verbal abuse big time while on the river. I have a permit to carry a weapon and i will tell ya what I am getting to the point that i might have to bring my friend with me while fishing Is that a cougar with waders and a attitude BOOM. JUST KIDDING GUYS JUST KIDDING.... I am not going to give up my fishing as long as I am legal and keep to my own I should be able to fish without the wrath of a pathetic fly guy who cant stand the sight of me nailing a 20ld nate on my first cast and another 13lb chromer on my 10th cast.I should of asked them to take my picture. It seeems like the WDFW has issued me a permit to be harrassed,abused,etc, etc, WHAT A JOKE???
