Blue Creek,
Definition in Websters - The only place in the world where it's mandatory to have patience or you will go insane.
I try to stay away from the mass at the creek when I can as I have a sled, but I have been there a few times out of curiosity more than anything else.
I am 45 years old and have been fishing probably since I was five so I am no beginner to the sport for sure but I do remember one time when I went down there one evening. I had a new noodle rod I had never cast before thought I would try it out just for fun. The first cast I made went left, Way left over probably 12 other peoples lines all I could do was laugh man what a reception I got. after numerous sorries and an explanation I finally got the stone faces to break and made some friends. All you have to do is talk to people and ask questions or tell them in a friendly way your long lining me. If they give you any guff move.
Cowlitz Fisherman I met you once or twice at an foc board meeting and a fundraiser for the foc when you were the president probably almost ten years ago. I was pleased that you got down on your hands and knees and helped pick up trash at Blue Creek I felt a little guilty that I was working and could not go down but thank you and everyone else who participated. Actions truly do speak louder than words.
