Reports would be nice

You're not going to get very far at all around here if all you do is ask for reports... 17 posts so far and 95% of em have been asking for reports...

Try the Quaalude... It'll be good for ya...

Seriously.. I figure you would have figured it out by now, that if you go out there and fish, it's going to make no difference if you know how it's fishing ahead of time.. You're still gonna have the same exact outcome.. either fish or no fish.. just plan on going fishing, and enjoy yourself!!

Yea your kind of just asking. No giving back to the board. If this board was just full of people asking questions then this board would be useless.

You keep asking how the rivers have been. Find out yourself. I'll accept people who have no stinking clue who are rookies out on the rivers who ask the occasional "hows the _____ river doing" but not "hows this been doing..."

And yes, reports would be nice. Feel free to give us some of yours....

I fished a new area today. it wasn't on the Quill.

the point is if i had posted a thread and based my trip on it, i never would have ventured into that new area. the fishing wasn't great, saw a few beauties and fished 'em hard with no body telling me where to go. It's not too hard to figure out the general catching pattern of late: fish are in. hatchery fish getting darker, nates coming, need rain most places . YES: people are catching fish, and it seems like they ARE posting reports

when you head out when the time comes: you'll get a chance to check conditions at one of the rivers along the way (a ritual which will teach you how to read the guages and also what to expect when)... rest assured there are fish to be had!

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys are getting tough. When you are ready, go fishing, there are fish in all the normal places, somedays more than others. Go for it!!

take the advice. Go out, fish and make observations. Learn what the water is at, where the fish like to hold in that particular flow and then go home and write it down. Then the next time you want to know how the fishing is you will already have a decent idea.

Tom- you sound kinda bitter, did they run out of fruity beer at the store?

C'mon guys. Stop holding back. I spent the last couple days standing at the launch at Wilson's just banging one after another. Probaby landed 25-30 fish in two days just plunking a big old spin glo and huge gob of eggs. Let 'em all go of course but it sure was fun.

Milton, if I were you that's where I'd head. It was money.

You are so full of crap, Dave

T, you should have been there. But you won't share your secret little spots so I thought I'd keep this one to myself until now;)

Just trying to help the kid out.

LOL...

Okie, you got me there... I'll give ya a hint Dave... Wetsuit.. 20' leader tied around waist attached to a tadpolly, and then swim all around the bark hole on the Sol Duc... Caught 46 the other day!

LOL u guys are funny. Now here is my explination on why im always asking for reprts. First of all im still in high school. I live 150 plus miles away from forks. So I just want to know how fishing is there lol. Im always wanting to go fishing thats all i think about sorry for asking to much lol. I guess im just gonna half to go fish the hella out of all the rivers and give u guys the reports. like t bird and all u other guys told me to do.

I'm just fine without the reports.. I go anyways

I am understanding of your situation, and I know exactly what it's like to have a true passion for fishing... As do a lot of the people on this board.. My main suggestion is to talk fishing instead of reports Sorry if I've come down a little rough on ya, but I was just trying to make a point

lol its ok i dc. Just wanted to let u guys know why i cant fish. I wish i lived in forks

Are you sure about that?

HELL YEA. WHY wouldnt i BE

Do ya like Rainier beer and have a fetish for chainsaws? If so you'll do just fine

T-Bird - Out of your last 17 posts not one had anything pertaining to fishing so it looks like you need to chill and if the kid wants to ask let him. If you have nothing positive to contribute then stay out if it. When did you become the human filter?

Some people have a life (ie school, A JOB, etc.) and don't have the luxury of fishing everyday so dreaming and talking about it has to suffice. Kind of like you and you incessant chatter about booze.

LOL... fire in the hole!

I didn't smell anything bitter in T's post... and i doubt Milt did either. But your's kindda stinks, dude! You come across as a dick when you pick on T's job status (...at least that how I took it)

BTW: where was your helpful advice for Milt?

I didn't have anything to add so I didn't. But T-Bird had to tell a 15 yr old to "have a quaalude" because that kid wants to know how the fishing is. That's why I said something. And yes read all the posts, I wasn't the only one thinking it's gettin' tough around here.

Maybe I am what you called me because I will stand up for kids. If so fine .. I've been called worse by better.
