Well I was supposed to fish area 11 with my cousin on Saturday, when an old freind of mine called me and talked us in to going to the Skok. I think in the near future I will trust what others post when its not fun to fish a certain area. Lets see, the first hole we fished was pretty croweded. People shoulder to shoulder fishing a small hole. I was not surprised to see how many fish were foul hooked. I saw about maybe 8 fish legally caught. Plus theres always that one loud guy on the river telling everyone what to do and how many fish he's hooked into, more like snagged. Plus seeing him get in to a pissing match because a guy raised his rod to close to his face. What do you expected when you're hugging each other. On the other hand I was very impressed how everyone respected others when there were fish on. Plus seeing guys, once they had their one limit, they'd come down and help others release fish or net a legal fish.

Second hole, now I see what what the last post talked about the Indians snagging. Man you think they were trying to put dinner on the table. Its very sad to see when the younger ones are doing it. There was one indicent were this young one was fishing off a 3, 4ft drop off. He snagged a fish and was basically forcing it to himself. Well the fish and his line ended up getting caught up in some brush and he could'nt get his fish up. So an older gentleman, or father came over with a net and tried to net it. No success. So they cut the line and left the fish tangled up in the brush. Now I really see why Indians get such a bad rap. I guess they don't really appreciate what they have. There we hooked into a few legal fish. My buddy and cousin each took a fish home and I lost mind at the last minute before leaving. And of course there was that one guy that had to be in the hole and wouldn't move when fish were being fought. Well that's one river I won't be returning to. I had a close freind once tell me, why fish else where when you have fish in your back door. I think I need to listen to him more often.
