[quote=DrifterWA) What I don't agree with. is that fishermen cause all the problems. I live close enough to the Wynoochee, that I might drive to the river, 2-3 times a day. Most of the time its to fish but many times to see how others are doing. I ALSO KNOW THAT SWIMMERS/CAMPERS, DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, HAVE BEEN A DIRECT RESULT OF MANY GRAVEL BARS BEING CLOSED. Trash, dirty diapers, torn up gravel bars, cut down trees for fires, campers/trailers parked for weeks at a time....just makes for less access for all of us.

Access that used to be, is not anymore.......If I've heard "I used to put in there", once, I've heard it a thousand times !!!!!!!! [/quote]

Not sure if it was the Wynoochee or Satsop but I still after many years remember a Spring drift trip and coming to a gravel bar absolutely covered with the aftermath of a huge beer party. Broken bottles, cans, remains of a fire, broken lawn furniture and various other crap. I can only imagine the feelings of the adjacent property owner.
