The problem is the Cowltz. it needs to become a factory, to regain thier attention

On the flip side, fishing was good today, one cromer short of boat limit, and no people, none. Vis about two foot, color decent, flow abit fast, making it a faster float then normal..... And it was a beautiful day.... And heard the Grouse strumming"...... Awsome day


Problem is........Puget sound rivers have gone to [Bleeeeep!], Tacoma area rivers have gone to [Bleeeeep!]......more people have driftboats, toons, sleds, etc., people want fish...I've posted for years.....lot's of water for drift boats....upper Quinault, West fork of the Humptulips, Queets, Upper Hoh.....

No easy answer.....State wants money....license sales, trailer sales, motor sales, etc.

Solve the fish problem in Tacoma, Seattle, Everett, area....many of the problems "go away", for "my local rivers".........
