Look what you started l-13!!! Lol...
Trevor I think you're taking this the wrong way. Everybody here knows how genuine you are. Honestly though, in the past month I've had blatant trespassing, with no regard, and much attitude. One of the instances was a group of campers looking to take my firewood, another were a group of Russians who pulled right in next to me and started putting on their waders... they insisted it wasn't private property and gave me an attitude when I insisted it was... another was a guy who posted pics from a shared private driveway on social media... in which 50% of the time out of state plates block it or park in it during silly season. Along my river bank there are the most beer cans during silly season. So please, understand that it is somewhat of a burden to the community, and understand that you are not included in anything anyone says about out of towners.

Jack, I hope you enjoy and have a bladt. I've yet to make it out west, but I believe I may do the sussit/skeena of brittish Columbia for world class wild steelies if I ever make it out that way

It got you back on the board! 
 
Friends of mine had a crew pull up and want to camp in their yard a couple of years ago.  They have a camera on the wood pile.  They were convinced to find an alternative location as the NYS Police were right down the road. I had the spare tire stolen out from under my truck.  The stories are nearly endless.  And I am not casting aspersions at people like R3G3 or the big bear who have invested in places around there as they are in general good stewards of their and their neighbor's lands.  But a lot of the ones who stay in the motels are complete hogs.

What's the point of all this back and forth?  Is this some childish game of Tommy Topper?
Don't we get bombarded with enough nonsense at work, with the media and other social websites? 
 

your right-- I'm done

I don't believe that anyone if forced to read these websites.
 
At least some of where I'm coming from is based on statements like "Snagging is a way of life on the Sr and I -for one- don't ever see it stopping, gotta learn to live with  it- like or not.
Or go nuts.", and for over 30 years I have refused to accept that, and do tend to get a little " antsy" as a result.

Really really tried-- even wiped out my stuff from the last couple of days.
 

I heard that 30 year figure somewhere else recently.....

True that ,
After 30 years , you get burnt out

Been there since the early 80s each year -some a lot more than others.
The folks here  changed the way I fished and gave a new way of looking at the river.
It has been much appreciated.
My approach of not being able to change the way things are is a bit of self preservation lol.-
Am not going to be able to change it so - just do my own thing and be happy about that.
Personally fish for fun and not to loose sleep worrying about the slobs.
