It's easy to feel bitter after being "burned" on some spot that you had pretty much to yourself that now harbors a throng of fishers.

That is pretty much the story of my fishing career. When my brother first started taking me to Blue Creek we DROVE to the mouth! I'm still pissed off about you guys (sic) letting that Zipper out of the bag! Or how about fishing anywhere we wanted on a small OP Res. stream and not even seeing other anglers most times! Pains me to even think about it!

No one likes having their places anymore crowded than they already are. It hurts. Realistically there is very little happening these days to encourage the existence of any "Zipperlip" stream in our state.

First you could blame F & H News. Since the NET, things are even tougher. Basically, our problem is too many people, too few productive rivers left to fish. Bitter pill to swallow; ain't never gonna be like it once was!

If you truly don't want the world to see it, don't post it! All these responses were the only thing that got MY attention regarding another river I had vowed not to fish anymore since the past many times I've been there it looked like the crowd there about made up the third largest city in Lewis County.

Add to "Rodney's Quote" ; Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't have the right to do it!
