Are they that hard up to let the rif raf in. I have been e mailed at least three times and called twice............

Summer doldrums. I would also think local addresses would be a political priority.  I think the desire to fish there is dwindling. Poor salmon run and the premium steel fouling is in the LFZ. I've heard a lot of the guys say that. Talked to quite a few that have passes and came up river to fish. That's not an indicator of the fishing there, just what people perceive. Harder to line fish in bigger water, is what I get.  As prices are rising for rooms and food and gas heading for over 3 again, maybe  crowds will  stabilize, rather than keep heading uphill. If I hadn't had run ins with absolute a-holes in the DSR, I'd have bought a pass to get some space. No escape.

hit the button twice......sorry

I started fishing there when there was no DSR-ya parked out on the road and walked in through the woods.
Kinda liked it when they put in stairs, porta potties, ,tables, trails  a parking  lot and  only charged a nominal fee.
Was DSR and LFZ for years.
When the price got outa hand and  prime spots were taken before Joe Average even got to to the river at o-dark 30 I stopped..
Was OK cause I had to go out and discover the real SR.

100% with you! First one out of the lot once , when I got to the run going into the meadow there were 10 guys in the run, fortunately all on the lodges side of the river, but it swung better from my side!
