I don't know why, but both this and ifish complain that there are more then 8 images in my post. Must be some bug, as there were only 7.

Here's the rest of my original post:

The Bad:

We all might want to reconsider where the Floatilla III.5 should be held. I can’t even imagine this river with 25-50 more boats, and 100+ more people on it! Don’t believe me? This was quite common.

There were lines and lines of boats at every corner or every hole!



As well, where they were boats, there were people! Hey, look who we almost ran in to (Sorry Os!) on the river! All the other “hot” spots were like this.



Snaggers. Decker Creek was nightmare. Donation Bar was nightmare. Typical fishing episode at Decker Creek consisted of BillyBob Local, snagging a woofer in the ass, hauling it up 25’ on the gravel bank, putting his foot on it to stop it from flopping around, yank the hook out of it’s ass, and to KICK the protected chummer back in to the water. Laughing all the while! frown Man, BK and I were pissed. As we stopped for a break, BK even pulled out a garbage sack and cleaned up the all the crap left by the snaggers and filled an entire garbage sack! All the snaggers did was to look at us like we were insane!

The Ugly:

BK and Joe pose with a Big Ugly wink We kept this fish because it really did try to kick BK’s butt and return down river to the ocean. Beng the Team Vision Stud that he is, BK opened up a can of Team Vision Whoop Arse on that fish and eventually won the battle. Knowing that this fish wouldn’t survive to spawn, it was bonked. Sorry RichG wink

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

It was pretty crowded there, Parker, but you gotta remeber that the vast majority of the river was left untouched because of the filthy water the Turnow branch was puking. So every boat was in the upper east fork. That's why FIII was called off......can you imagine another 30 boats up there? eek

Looks like you guys found some biters even after the water mixed below Cook creek. If I knew there would be biters down in the dirty water, you wouldn't have seen me at the confluence like that. We did see some "interesting" gear being used there at Satko. "Hey....is your hook supposed to be ABOVE the corky like that?" rolleyes

Man, aren't those dogs a handful? You go there with silver gear, and the chumleys work you over but good.
