I read some of the stuff in the rating poll, and where someone scoffed that there's 32% here that consider themselves in the 10% best fishermen pool.

This BB isn't a representative cross section of all fishermen in WA state. If it was then you'd need ones who don't even know how to put powerbait on hooks and also ones who don't know how to tie good knots. ... or those types who hold casting rods upside down and spinning rods with the reel on top.

Me, I consider myself a real "stream cleaner" when it comes to trout and flyrods. I can make trout bite even when they don't want to. But at steelhead... different story. I might be the type that holds rods upside down.
