I know Dan. That last post was just a general opinion. The Quilcene navigable? maybe by the beer cans and other assorted trash that float down it, but I'd LOVE to see anyone even try taking an innertube down that creek. Comparing it to the Hump, Satsop etc... is apples and oranges.

As far as access, Havnfun posted that Evan Jacoby sent him an e-mail denying that WDFW posted any of the signs. Do you think he was lying? If I had to guess, I'd bet that one (or more) of the unhappy landowners might have posted those signs in hopes of not having to re-live the nightmare that they experience every year. Before we all jump on the "WDFW sucks" bandwagon, wouldn't it be nice to know for sure?

Surecatch is absolutely correct in his observation as well. The ONE (and only) time I visited the Quilcene (couldn't bring myself to actually fish) there must have been 3 to 4 HUNDRED people lining both banks from 101 almost all the way to Richards rd. It would take a National Guard unit to round up and ticket all of the snaggers.

Hey, if anyone wants to "fish" it, that's their own personal choice. But c'mon, let's not pretend that all of the sh!t that happens there doesn't warrant at least second look at current access policy.

I DO NOT want to see any access denied to fishers anywhere, but in the case of the Quil, true fishers are in the definite minority, and I could give a rip if the snaggers, litterers, and vandals receive ANY rights or access privileges.

OK, I've already gotten farther into this than I intended, so this is all I'm going to say about the kill scene.
