Northwest Fishing Reports

I don't think we can really blame boaters, I'd blame the company for not wanting to deal with them. They don't have to let us use it, but it's a PIA that they won't now.








really????????????

spoke with the company. they said they were concerned with increased traffic on their PRIVATE haul rd. tons of traffic equals tons of road damage equals tons of maintenance. also the sand shrimp containers and other just basic litter has not helped along with the tons of press and overall disrespect...

7400 gate may be closed. the timber company is going to shut down access here. they are concerned with the increase in traffic here.

right on. sorry for being sensitive. hard to read intent through the keyboard sometimes.

hey man. I'm not snooty or giving you mail of any kind. just cause I'm not handing out beta does not mean i got some issue with anyone. i just don't fish that stream enough to be any kind of authority. I'm just hoping to glean some info from the master like everyone else. thanks for the map. I'll be...

tight lipped???? :scratch: I'm not going to give you a google map to all the good spots. The Calawah confluence isn't a big secret, it's sort of a ***** to get to though on the other side. I'm not going to complain if someone does tell him about it, but if you want all the goodies, you have to pay ...

tight lipped????

drat! can't make it.

i like the tramp stamp of the license and other pertinent documents. perhaps a bar code that would reference your person.

if you didn't have a wallet you can keep that card in the, er, um you know, special card slot. I mean provided you didn't have any clothes or pocket for your wallet.

yeah that nature stuff is unforgiving and dangerous. whatever, give me a break. though i would not trek around naked in them we have about the gentlest forest on the planet. those that say otherwise are ignorant, dumb, or need an ego boost cause they survive against all odds in the man eating jungle...

good on you for not snagging with the jig. have a great season.

Man Nate, there you go throwing logic and reasoning around. Gonna get resentment from the BandAids Fix Everything crowd for that. And I wholeheartedly agree with you, too. The problem isn't in the number of guides on a given river. The problem is the mismanagement of the resource from the top, maki...

Guides make up the bulk of traffic on many systems. Anyone not seeing that had their head in the sand. Do i blame them, no. However the time has come for a change, and higher credentials are one way of doing this, be it not the only way.

True enough Nate. I think there should be more requirements. That way those that are serious can invest and the pretenders can go away. Also there needs to be more enforcement on illegal guiding. Folks need to realize that making money on a public resource is a privilege not a right. Sooner or later...

About time something is done. Tired of seeing mishandled fish shoddy ethics and general prostitution of a public resource. Lots of guides that are well just way too amateur out there. A step in the right direction. guides ruin rivers and are not stewards in many cases. Do u blame them for not rollin...

Nice the state makes it so user friendly huh.

Mmmmmmm minky string leeches. More slithery than rabbit.

Spinners and spoons casting. Jigs spinning.
