A little testy there ain'tcha okie?

I didn't call you out on anything. If you had a great season... more power to you. You are definitely in the minority though.

The reason I asked how long you've been fishing it is because water levels don't usually make all that much difference bringing fish into the System. They come regardless. Plus, the longer you've fished it... the better able you are to compare it to seasons say 10+ years ago when we really had escapements of 8000 fish.

Ohhh and I've fished it enough times this season to form my own opinion of it.

The reason I respect Rob's opinion on the fish numbers is because in MY opinion, he's probably the best fisherman on that system. And if he's havin' trouble... then something's definitely up.

That ain't so hard to understand... is it?
