Thanks for the info, folks.

silver hilton: your point makes sense--I won't post exact locations in the future. I should note, though, that I was serious about Whatcom Creek being nasty. I figured the veterans would be chuckling at me because nobody would go back there for a second time. Garbage all over the place in the water and on the banks. I kind of had my doubts that a downtown fishing spot wouldn't be great, but I didn't think it'd be this bad.
