A good buddy of mine said there were some tickets handed out in the last few days , for all kinds of things , plus a few warnings

If the violations are legitimate that is great news! All this talk of fishing might make me have to cross the northern county line for a poke or two :)

Good deal!! Wasn't doubting you Freddy, was referring to the severity of the violations.  I'm sure this current weekend and next are their last round up for tickets being issued on the river. Hope we get some moderate rain to keep the level higher than 750 for next weekend

Missed the chance, rain coming will probably mess it back up. Couldn't resist this dry weather for getting stuff done outside though. River is blowing right now. Barely anyone fishing this afternoon

gee  this one got strong armed  out of a fishing spot  someone  got  yelled at  for a fish live on a  rope  ....=))  not the most manly bunch are yas   :w00t:

...Sounds like the time i got told by Malindas 80 year old "boyfriend" That he wasnt going to talk to me any more because i kept steelhead :cookoo:  Made it a point the next time i fished, to keep a 10 pound Female  cause i needed eggs.  :thumbup_smilie:

  read 4 pages of comments, theres no locals versus imports or fish heads, that's what the locals still call me after 22 yrs of living here, no locals fish the river, locals fished native trout, ponds, bullhead fish, or bass, in 22 yrs of living here, I know very few locals who fish salmon or steel, were all from out of town.

  I been fishing steelhead last 2 weeks in high water, everyone I've fished near or talked too has been nice and friendly, sounds like a low water thing or everyone is just blowing things out of proportion too me.  peak salmon weekends and a few peak steelhead weekends it gets crowded but over all rivers been pretty nice last 6 months, I've had a great time, guess its how you look at life, glass half full or glass half empty.

Trap, fished the zone since it opened. In my opinion its uglier than ever. But maybe that's just my mind playing tricks on me. Ya know, when chuck and duck first came about (it was not called that back in the day) it was an honest attempt to catch winter steelhead.  This slash and thrash tactic up in the zone is pretty gross though. But yes, it is a put and take fishery. You are 100% right. This is the first year I've ever seen the hatchery closed to the public, and the most dead steelhead I've ever seen and heard of. I just hope that "we" haven't gone past our means and "taken" too much from what's been "put"...

  simple answer too that, everyone switched two 2 handed fly rods whether switch rods or spey, both extreme line ripping for next cast on both rods, anything is in its way.... its getting hooked.

Good reads snag!! I called you other day it was a bonanza for a day ! On another note I watched fly zones for a hour after a good eat in Altmar and like  he and I  said anything in the lines way gets hooked !! I watched fish just sit there holding in some slower water and a Spey guy just flossed the whole pool till it got to the fish I was watching and guess what folks there mouths didn't open for the offering !!! But fish on at the end of his drift cmon! How many fish are gonna get ripped an flossed over and over !?  But them some people say how many fish are gonna get caught elsewhere over and over? Every one nows the fish up there are on gravel and majority of fish stage there  and winter there in the zones !! Close that nuts or open it to the rest of us  cause that's not fishing anymore up there everyone has adapted there fly technique to snatch not catch fish now rant over ..bring on the debates I'm listening  :P :w00t: :w00t:
