Well bent pole I am guessing you are referring to me as a dumb A** and would like to thank you for the compliment. Mr. Garcia thank you for editing my post I apreciate your censorship. It's good to hear that the game wardino's will be at work on on the kalama. I will be there saturday and sunday to see the immense progress of their labor. Finally closing the kalama would never happen, and to you highly eloquent and excellent problem solving thinkers who would like to see the river closed as a be all end all solution why don't you think about the wholistic picture of closing down a rescource that feeds more than just sport fishing like the livelyhoods of family's and businesses in the booming metropolis of kalama . It is very easy to write words on a screen and talk trash but I would like to see you all with such strong and God save the queen like feelings approach the individuals who would be effected by a closing of the kalama. And if snagging realy bothers you that much as to close a river why don't you go to the camp ground and tak to each and everyone you have such an immense problem with. Oh yeah and go up to the yuppie guy in his new orvis catalog special fishing the fly only water from the lower hatchery down through beginners and give all those guys snagging tickets. They are doing the same thing with their fly rods as the guys whipping drift gear into salmon are down below. My bet is fish and game will do a run through down below and ticket the heck out of camp kalama ( like they should) but they might want to also take the same initative with the holier than thou fly guys. Most of all have good times on such a beautiful river and if you see something happening that is wrong call em on it and don't count on the law to help out because they are usually on more important missions or are ignoring the issue. I love the hell out of that river and would take a sock in the eye any day for telling some yahoo to knock it off with their snagging. I've come close many times but always come out ok and with a point made across.
