...or on another site, where there are more uptight people.


The "kid" certainly didn't post stating all of his situation. Can you even drive out to forks at all when yer 15??

I find that i often (not always) get a specific answer off this site when I ask a specific question. Those of us who aren't new to the site should already know what to expect from a report posted about a river we don't know about by someone we don't know...

sure, you'd get different reports from a friend. That's why I don't wanna come of sounding like a dick when I put someone down on this site... Would I get an accurate reprt from T? I dunno, we've never met. I'd be more likely too though if I'm nice to him.

...seems like most folks lurk here before they register. They know what they are getting in to here.

The internet has changed everything. There used to be a different learning curve. It hasn't always been possible to sit on a couch and "gleen" info from "anonymous experts"... Those who don't know the tradition may need to have it explained. If you don't know how to cast: practice in yer yard. If you don't know what gear to use: buy a book. If you don't know where to go: hire a guide. If you can't afford one: go do some exploring. These are not things which can be provided for on this site (except for the finding a guide part).

For all you lurkers and underaged newbies:
Feel free to ask anything you want. However, you will acquire much more here by asking about techniques (for example) than which rock to stand on at what time. And if you don't know why it sounds silly to some of us to ask "How's the fishing in February in Forks", then it may be time for you to go to Fork's in February... or better yet, hire a guide
