stay home- and wait for more rain....u wont miss much. they arent that far up yet...

 
Agree..............Need more rain and cooler temps for a run....Still not there in any numbers yet....

Well, I'm about 2.5 hours away and i hope to make a trip up on sunday as well. The way i see it there might not be as many fish, but there also will be quite a few less people than there will be about 3 weeks from now. So if i catch 1 or 2 fish i will have a better day than i may trying to fight the huge crowd to land the same number of fish. ***P.S. i may have had a few Labatts before i wrote this message...  

i hope everyone that's going up on saturday and sunday don't post and tell us they're going up. the web sight might crash
 
we need automatic forwarding to show what the last answer was the first time the same question was asked within the last 48 hours.

Maybe we need a twitter so all those who need moment by moment updates can get the latest info.  Maybe we could install GPS locators in everyone's fishing rods, so folks can see where people are fishing and therefore get the best locations in real time.  Even better maybe the Fish Commission could put some type of tracking device in the steelies and we could track them so we will know when they return to the creeks and where they are.  Underwater cameras at the mouth of the streams could be helpful too. 

I am coming to the conclusion that with our modern technology where many of our younger generation cannot seem to put down their cell phones for a few minutes and are constantly texting or calling their friends we have a created a culture that demands instant information.  Combined with this there seems to be an expectation that successful fishing is only when the conditions are perfect and a ton of fish are caught.  We want to take all the elements of guesswork out of fishing and have a guarantee of success.

I am old school when it comes to fishing.  The cell phone stays in the car.  I hit the stream for peace and quiet and enjoy being away from my daily grind and fish because I love the experience of it.  I look at fishing or hunting as game where I test my knowledge of the critters and conditions.  I personally find more satisfaction out of my experiences in the field when I matched my wits with the critters than when someone takes me by the hand, puts me in front of the critters and baits my hook or loads my gun, helps me aim or cast and then shoot the critter or hook the fish.

With some very basic information about how to fish and what conditions are good you have all you really need. 

Good luck when you come to fish.

great post bug!!

Bug-- You got it 100%-dead-nuts correct.
Too many people couldn't find their****w/ both hands if they didn't have their cell phone,twitter and facebook w/them.
What ever happened to solitude and independence when you're out in the woods and waters?

the third one in the first row has a pink egg in its lip and the last one by the limb has a mini foo on its fin. 
 

are you going to a star wars melee? butterfly catching or just taking your lunch to watch others fish?
