I had not fished an opener there in many years. We started on another river and ended up on the sky mid-morning. Everyone said it was crazy in the morning, but to me it seemed like a normal crowd, I still remember the shotgun start of the old openers at Reiter. I think the "split opener" probably contributes to everyone being on the only two rivers that opened on sunday. Its kind of like getting two openers in one I suppose, I think I like it and it was definitely busy, but everyone we ran into was smiling and having a good time (except for those who got paper from BNSF)...most watches seemed to be set on 420, lol. I dont think it was humanly possible to pack another trailer into the Sultan launch, for sure.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that you cant get a Sheriffs Deputy to respond to vehicle break ins in Sky Valley but they are "assisting" BNSF with trespass violations? It seems like another money grab at an accessible, concentrated group of folks to me.
