We have taken pride in keeping the prices down so it is within reach of most everyone. I welcome you to come up and experience something 99% of Steelheaders have never had. I am sure Mr. Vedder can give you a pretty good idea of what it is like and what that watershed can produce.
I wish our own agencies would spend a few months up there and see how it can be done.


...I didn't mean for that to sound like an attack...if it sounded as such I apologize...just wanted to say that for the average die-hard steelheader, "weekend-warrior" status means getting their fishing fix on local waters...which are in great peril. I am green with envy for those that spend a week up in No.BC or up at a paradise like GBL, but for me as with many that have engaged in this conversation, we fish the waters we love...which are those that are close to home.
