As sad as it gets.

Don't blame the nets on this one. The west side of the mountain received among the worst effects of logging in our state on any watershed. Those hills were among the first to be cut and that was long before anyone even considered a buffer zone.
I remember when there was nothing but farms from Sumner to Orting, (and I'm not even that old) soon it will all be houses. You just about could walk on this river, but they do bite. I wonder why most use long leaders here as well. I might be done on this river, after what I did last year every goon in town will have pontoon.


But you can help this river.

These guys are always looking for people to volunteer and I believe they work in conjunction with the Pierce County Stream Team. I plan on doing some work on this river and I'd like to see some of you guys down there giving a hand.

Next time all those houses put a frown on your face, just smile and think that they will be barried and we will have a new river. It won't happen tommorow, but you know what it could happen five years from tommorow. I won't have any sympathy, they should know better.

Heres some irony, even as I write this I got the Bob Marley classic "Concrete Jungle" playing. Maybe he knew something. Seems to be true about the whole PS corridor.
