Heres a good reason I agree with LegitimateHooker,


At the cowlitz river the fish and wildlife depo move the boundary sign up to within 100' of the barrier damn. It did not take long for the word to spread and it was shoulder to shoulder every day. People came down there with no consideration for anybody else for example people came down there with side planners and started fishing right in the middle of people tossing eggs or bobber and jigs and they expect for everybody to move for them. The same for plunkers. It didnt take long for the snaggers to show up either. Trash, discarded batteries, and fishing line littered the shore. Now the sign is back where it was originally. Which was a great spot untill the fish and wildlife depo went out there at low water several years ago with a bulldozer and tried to play god.

Tip of the day, when somebody moves in on your drift and keep getting tangled in you line Use "snuffy rig" file the inside of a hook and cut them off.

There is no secret river but there are secret spots and there are good reasons for that.

hoodsport use to be fun for kings and pinks now even that is a zoo

Johns creek by shelton use to be fun too but now its just like hoodsport but worse, the home owners and the golf course will have access shut down soon because of all the trash and people not respecting the people who live there,

There are some small ponds that were great for cutthroat out by tiger lake now its a float tube circus and the fish aint that great anymore because all the meatheads.

It used to be all right to camp right there at the bonnevelle dam on the columbia R. thanks to a bunch of idiots you cant even fish there after 8 now or camp.


It is a fact that with more people come less fish and more closures.

Do yo want that to happen where you fish?
