I bet if you ask the cowboys and indians really nice they'll stop netting and you can have an all natural production river where only fly fishermen can go.


Wow.... You ain't from around here, are you, Boy?

When you suggest that the majority of sport fishers advocating for responsible management of the Chehalis Basin are fly fishers who want the rivers to themselves, it makes a profound statement regarding your lack of knowledge regarding the situation. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure a fly only fishery would be the only thing less popular than the status quo among the local sporties. That sort of sarcastic generalization might not be too far off in some places, but it's eons away in the case of the Chehalis.
