New one day it would come to this. Pay to fish, pay for access. Only the wealthy elete get to fish on the few remaining open rivers/streams that have sorry numbers anyway. Just like in the UK and soon to come in BC...oh that's right the "Dean" is already that way. Don't mean to rant, but having a hard time with the fact this is coming faster than I would have guessed? Gone will be the days of like myself, riding my bike down to the river to fish, occupying my time staying out of trouble, learning valuable lessons on my own. I feel bad for my grandkids. I guess they call that progress. Just never thought it would happen in my lifetime? Already this year my interest has waned, not having wet a line yet for hatch steel, the latest start in 36 yrs. I guess I have started to move on to other things. Hope for all you young guys, this pay to play future is slow to take. A wonderful pastime could be in jeopardy. Oh, and by the way, MERRY XMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
