My old man used to say alot of things but one I try to live by. Beleave none of what you hear & 1/2 of what you see!! I was raised on the north & south forks of the lewis. I caught my first wild fish on the east fork in 1977. my old man even then taught me to release wild fish to keep the (good gene) pool going.The strordal bros. were working the same pits back then !! the east fork of the lewis river is a classic fishery! If I wanted to wine !! I would be wine ing about the small land owners that buy a pcs. of land next to the river and log it for cash,only to silt up the beds and raiseing the water temps!!! That is way worce than pulling some gravel out of a hole 400 yards away from our rivers!!!!! winer
