That's funny......I said the exact same thing.

Damn, man.........you can't stick a label on the king's head.

I had to check............yep, must have had the same "label sticker on'er".

Wish they would cover the "dorsil fin area", that way everyone "could believe" that it was a hatchery fish. Guess you can tell "I'm for the release of all Wild steelhead in Washington State.

"Worse day sport fsihing, still better than the best day working"

I hate when that happens.

My issue has the label over the king's head too, probably fallout from the Janet Jackson incident-pun intended. Great magazine, I guess I will have to catch my own king this spring to see the whole thing!

and yess you can recieve it in the local grocery store before you recieve it in the mail. For just a few pennies more per issue. I have written them a letter and cancled my subsciption. I would rather get it Two weeks earlier and pay a little more.

Hey.......... Mine did come in a plastic bag, which also included a folded copy of West Coasts Resorts 2003 Fishing Report.

Anybody want to buy my STS cover page$

Hmm mine came in a plastic bag with some extra advertising.

Coho:

FWIW, attaching the shipping label to the plastic bag can be an "iffy" venture. The bag might tear during the mailing process and the label be lost...along with your mag.

Suggestion: Next time you have a label like that take some lighter fluid and a Q-tip, soak the q-tip in the fluid and cover the label. Wait one minute and then remove the label.

Use a blow-dryer to dry the mag paper out and it is now clean, no label and you save the cover pic.

Its an old booksellers trick for removing label's, price tags, etc...:-)
