Bruce your absolutely right. I read alot of articles and say to myself, self I need to go there and try it some time, I may or my not. I like to try new water, but a article in a magazine is'nt gonna make me drop everything and run to river x when there are sooo many good places to fish here in the great northwest. If you want solitude head to Alaska, wait Kenai pen no solitude any where around Anchorage no solitude. If you want solitude up there your going to go deep into your pockets to get remote.

If you do your homework the state provides ample information for one to make a good decision on where and when to fish. Now are all you zipperlippers out there going start raggin on the WFDW?

Can't we just fish and have a good time, life's way too short.

Sorry guys but you missed the point and thats too bad. My post has nothing to do with solitude or having the river all to myself. My post was simply about the impacts to small stream wild steelhead stocks....inherently fragile in the best of times. But hey if you support FH New's style your choice and I'll have to respect that just as it's my choice to sound ther other horn....please respect that. And respect resource protection over all...thank you.

It may be inopropriat but thats what i was thinking so why not say it. I can see writeing about the Hoh or Quileute system even though I dont like it but I can deal with it.

But when you go as far as talking about the little ones that have very agressive fish that you can kill legally thats just going to far. A bunch of meat fisherman could clean a river like that out in a few year and thats no bull. The one he was talking about gets too much presure already and dosent need anymore.

I dont care what anybody thinks.
