Thanks for the info. Most of the fishing I do here is out of my boat. I really like running shoreline tight at 3-5 mph with rapalas. It's an amazing feeling when you have an agressive brown hit like that. Occasionally I'll hit a decent rainbow with the same tactic. The fishing here is good I won't say it's not, but living here my whole life and with our big population growth here in the Sierra Nevadas there seem to be more fisherman than fish these days. The reason my grandparents moved here in the early 60's was for the small town atmosphere and the beautiful outdoors. Now there is a ton of traffic, prices have gone through the roof and I as an adult looking to make a life for myself, can't afford it here. I was quite impressed with how clean Eastern Washington is and how kind the people seemed to be. That's like it was here 10 or so years ago. Now we have all the people from Southern California and the Bay Area that have worked there way up here into the mountains and have made everything crazy. I hate it. Thanks for the info and any other info from others would be greatly appreciated - Cameron
