Na. Some people just see things differently. right and wrong. black and white. maybe that's the way you do things where you live. admitting your comment was just a bit off the mark and misleading Im sure won't happen so you attack the guy who's for doing the RIGHT THING. maybe they should segregate fishing forums into reality and fantasy sections then people can go where they like to get the info they need. Honest facts and info in reality and opinions, assumptions and dumb comments in fantasy land ! As johnny cash would sing... I hear the train a comin. it's rolling round the bend. hey bubba looky here, it's gonna run down those fishermen Yee haw
Uhhhhh where he lives is the Salmon River......... They already have been, the "fantasy" crowd is having a BBQ right about now in town, while some woman is video taping "her hole" to try to catch people fishing it. JMHO but you might have a better time with that crowd. Good luck to you! Most of us wish people well in whatever they chose to do, you & others like you apparently chose to degrade everyone who doesn't fit your mold. Are you all that insecure, or in need of self assurance? If so they offer counseling & Dr.s can perscribe meds to help with that. Or maybe just get a "bigger rod" to help compensate for feelings of inadequacy.Have a nice day
Ain't that the real truth right there. Have fun and stop looking at what the guy next to you is doing unless he's trying to cross the river at a dangerous point or flow. Then give him/her a heads up and or lend a hand if need be! I met more real nice people than aholes.......... but there are plenty of aholes out there too! If you ignore them you won't have to kick their arse.
The other day I was fishing without waders and got a big estez fly hooked in my socks...couldn't get it out so fished with it in my sock all day..every time I started wading out into the runs I almost got my ankle chewed off by those hungry male kings...it was dangerous..I knew I shouldn't have walked down into the dsr. Seriously lifes way to short to be worrying about what the next guy to you is doing..go enjoy yourself man...salmon fishin is fun, don't make it out to be more than what it is.... hey solarpod lighten up man..or are you just looking for arguements?
early in the season i found that to be the case more often than not. Guys going out of their way to help another guy out if they asked for it, letting ya know what baits, flies, are hot, where in the run to try to cast if you're not hoking up, ect. A few weeks from now in the heart of the run I've found it just the opposite and thats why I try to avoid going up in early/ mid October when it seems like their is a much higher concentration of people on the river who only care about themselves and putting their 3 zombies on a rope and screw everyone else
Heres some 6 year olds I walked down those railroad tracks on Labor day of 2009 This pic is at the papermill pool..... I would hope that grown adults would know enough to get out of the way of a train...these kids do.
Your comment is about as useful, as ASSuming all who venture into a flyfishing area are pretentious wealthy idiots. It takes all types, but some decent guys fish the river during that time.
