Just a perception.
It seems like whenever there is a question about the Cow, there will be a bunch of positive responses.
Anyone who fishes the stretch b/w Barrier Dam to Blue Creek knows that the catch rate is not very high lately.
I have fished the Barrier dam 5 weekends in a row and scored only one fish.
Last Sunday, zero fish HOOKED for about 50 people.
Yesterday 4 Jacks caught for about 30 people.
Forgot about the 5th jack pulled in by the tail and bonked in broad daylight.
The other Sunday, zero fish HOOKED for about 50 people.

There are other places to fish for Springers beside the Cow, so it seems like most of you are directing people to the Cow to prevent pressure on the other rivers.

If this is the case, don't you think that is a bit selfish?
