I just saw a post regarding Riffe Lake to see how the fishing has been recently, and as I read on down through the replies, I see a post from you that does nothing but bad mouth the good people from Lewis County.....we all have our opinions don't we? Riffe Lake is my old stompin' ground....there are alot of good people there, and like anywhere else, lots of useless no-gooders. I was born and raised there and I still have alot of family members living there, as well as friends. It's funny you call them "tree huggers" when the vast majority of folks in East Lewis County work in a lumber mill......my father included. He's worked in the mills his entire adult working life. They rely on the forests to keep food on their table and a roof over their head, so they are far from being "tree-huggers". Opinions are a wonderful thing, but it really bothered me to see such harsh things being said about my background. You could have said what you needed to without the criticism.

I was going to tell Rafterman45 that my folks were down there last Saturday shore fishing by where the hangliders camp and land. It was a slow day, but they caught 2 14" rainbows. They had lots of other hits and a few other's brought in, but nothing to talk about. They are putting a new launch in just this side of Taidnepam, sort of across from the old Champion Rd. I heard they were going to extend it out much further so that there will be access when the lake is so low. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. They said that there weren't very many fisherman out anywhere from what they saw.
