Bowhunter,

I didn't pay for my trip. I was a guest. Anybody invites me to fish in waters where you need a guide, I'm going. Sorry.

You can play Don Quixote all you want, but nothing you and I say or do will change the treaties. Hiring a guide to fish on that river means that on that day they are not going to be netting.

I don't like gillnetting, especially on the Chehalis, but neither of us can do squat about it.

I fish that system about twice a year. This year I might just fish it three times. Nothing wrong with that.

Take care,

Andy
