Hoh, I agree we all are "b.m's" sometimes. The "local boys" are something else too. I had one local in my boat swim over to the tressel from my boat and fight a guy who rocked my boat. Some very different people in the Gorge (like everywhere), but I'm lucky that I have some good friends from there, plus it's hard to outfish a local on his own water. Plan to be down there for the circus starting in a couple of weeks.
