I'm a lurker, but I check this site to see what river will be ruined. That is NOT a joke even though you might think it's funny.

I'm with my fellow Southerners. You Northerners just keep on driving to the Columbia or better yet... too California.

Good point. You wouldn't want to send some city slickers who know how to read the regs down there and ruin those SW redneck's snagg - er fishing holes for them. Besides, last time I fished the skook, I swear I could hear dueling banjos as I was being stared at by a toothless hick and his cousin\brother.

Seriously now - lighten up. This world has much bigger issues worth getting worked up about...

Whats your point? I have fished the chuck for years and seen very little snaggin..So maybe you could elaborate more on your comment..

You can sure tell you alll that arent very familier with the Chuck because it seems you all wanna call it the skook....there's the skok and the chuck to different rivers...so to all you city slickers that have crossed it on I-5 or fished it once SHUT UP!!!

LOL.

I was just kidding - sheesh.

If you must know - I grew up SW Washington. Mainly in Centralia (and a some in Rochester, Chehalis, and Onalsaska). And gosh, what do you know, the skook runs right through Centralia!! Call is the 'chuck' if you want - but me and all my buddies down there call it the skook. I've probably spent more time inner tubing it than fishing it - but I have caught my fair share of fish out of there.

seems to me if posts like this were left unanswered it would of been of the page in 2 days.those that wanted to help hobiecat could of e-mailed him with some advice on the smaller rivers.people getting mad at others for answering adds curiousity to the rivers resulting in more pressure ect.ect.
silence is golden and curiosity killed the cat. scott

Well said Scotty....

Good point...........

Can you say kneejerk?

seems less crowded now that the smolt plants are a third of what they were a few years ago...only 30k...used to be 90k...but it sure seems like combat fishin' there when coho show up....yuck....i don't go there for salmon...

I think this river is too small for snagging. First good jerk and the weight would smack someone in the head. That may explain the rednecks though. Fast turn of the head, POW in the neck. I hunt and fish out there and year after year more people show up. As I have said before if you want peace and quite, hike your butt up into the mountains about ten miles. Up there only you and a maybe one other person on a body of water. If you think you will have it down here on a river with any type of fish run in it, you are going to be mistaken and real soon at that. Too many people moving here. Too many people know every zipper lip. I may even one day get bored and put every small body of water wih fish in it on this board. Fishing is about having fun and sharing the good times with good people. Except during peak run times. Then it is duck and cover. I think any person who calls himself a fisherman would never call anyone a dumbass for asking a fishing question. Especially one who closes bars down. Those types are usually the dumbass.

Hey Jayjos.... I totally missed this one, so I appologize, but in your origional post you spelled "Freezer" F-R-E-A-Z-E-R, when it really should be spelled F-R-E-E-Z-E-R. Don't beat yourself up about it too bad, English is a complex language and sometimes it can be hard to sound out a word like "freezer", or "egg". Anyhow, sorry I missed that one the first time around.

Big Jim, I'm surprised by your stand point on this subject. I usually agree with 99% of what you post...... Not the case this time.

Oh my I'd hate for you'll to have a sowlitz river on your hands. I'm sure this message board had nothing to do with any of the extra fisherman coming on DOWN and littering up our banks. I'm not blaming this site (mostly f&h news is to blame) but it did help the cause. Everyone has a right to fish anywhere they want. All you did by making a big deal out of it was remind everyone that it is a good river to fish. By the way I wouldn't blame this site totally for your increased fishing pressure blame the border patrol down on the columbia for allowing so many californians to keep on coming.
almost forgot lil do do how do ya spell the supercalifragilisticexpy something or nother. oh well you'll fix it for me. LOL

Wow, I can feel the LOVE on this board. Look Guys, It's not that big a deal. Somebody posted about a small stream, and I got pissed off about it. I called the guy a Dumbass, and everyone else got pissed off about that. Soooooo, I came back and tried to explain myself, you know, kind of smooth things over and try to put some of these newbies on the same page as the rest of us........ Nothing doing! Everyone still wants to pick away at each other, and that's fine, but I'm bored now. so unless Jayjos spells something wrong again, I'm done here. I'll go flame another thread.

ZoZo - forgot a couple

"nead" = N-E-E-D

"relivance" = r-e-l-E-v-a-n-c-e

Very good PMARTIN. I can't believe I missed those . Thank you for that. You know, I was kind of thinking that maybe we can make a game out of Jayjo's remedial spelling.... Here's how it'll work. Whenever Jayjo puts up a post , we'll all disect it for spelling errors.... Whoever points out the most errors is the winner. Sounds like fun, huh.

ROFLMAO

You could fit those people in one van.

Well said scotty!!!!

ZOZO-I have been on your side all along so daont say everyone disagrees..

maybe the offical rules of what can be talked about should be posted. also mention everything thing that has ever been already discussed, so nobody will ever ask a redundent question. god i love censorship its alive and well here on pissed off pursuits. what a bunch of yo-yo's!!!!. i can't believe the people who think rivers are a big freaking secret. shhhhhh, someone might be listening right now. get reel

Speaking of yo yo's 'slipped and fell on your a$$' you fite the bill !!! Like I said all you city slickers that have drivin over or fished it once SHUT UP!!!!

your response is all i need, i rest my case. by the way stick boy, i live on the skook.
