I would like to read something positive from him once in a while...
I love Bills' writing but, his latest reads are nohing but, a soap box for him to stand on to say look at me... I am holier than thou.

I understand He doenst like Side-drifting??? Well guess what?
He should practice what you preachs! He is not apart of anykind of solution. In his book Drift-fishing for Steelhead he describes the technqiue in its extent for anglers to follow. Yet turns his nose down to it. Maybe you should take that page out of your book.. Cause look what happens!
