all i see is lots of whining. just symptoms of a bigger problem, not many fish, and not enough rivers to fish for them in any more.

drift boat, sled, bankie, they've all got their issues. the big picture is that everything worth fishing has become ridiculously overcrowded now. the really sad thing is that license sales slip every year. what few people buy them are fishing a lot more for decreasing numbers of returning fish.

i'm about one more lousy season away from hanging up my steelhead gear and sticking to fall salmon and lake fishing. the fishing just isn't good enough to justify going even if the crowds weren't as insane as they are now.
