Very well said Werner!!

Funny thing is, all these people moan and groan, so don't go!! Like Werner said, the Barrier Dam and Blue Creek aren't the ONLY places on the river. If you have a boat, go explore, that's what I do.

I'll say two things about fishing the Cow last year and into this year: 1) I NEVER fish in the crown, I always find my own place, and 2) I HIT FISH LIKE CRAZY!!

If you don't like it stay away, it's that simple, but don't bag on the river like the entire thing is trash.
