Life is really hard if you only assume the worst about people.

There is lots of people on the Satsop so going there means you need to be ready to mentally deal with other folk in (god forbid) a different water craft than you are in. The internet has created a competitive situation, where there should not be one. Everyone is scratchin' for a small resource in the name of "fun".

If it is hard to have fun fishing under the current sh!tty situation, then by all means don't do it. If I do something for fun and it makes me pissed off, then I was better off doing yardwork at least that makes my old lady happy.

Strong effort 2MANY.

Steelhead is fun, but I've been day dreaming about fishing with my kids in a lazy lake for the past few weeks. That's where the true joy is.
