What no suckers?  Great job, Wayne. Congrats on the Steel.

I think between the two of us e got our yearly limit. We keep getting all those China people will call us snaggers

Great day

I bet that tour has countless stories just like ours. Bowie hearing him and putting him on China Girl, rather that Jimmy getting him a break was not a surprise. I told him he deserved to fill the Garden and he would in not too long a time. I got to meet him later on when we were both sober, too. He was even nicer. I always hated doing covers, I enjoyed learning and playing his.

What we say about our trips has little to do with crowds IMHO.
Its a famous fishery  well known in this Country and others.
Most readers would quickly pickup on the fact that we few are regulars with years of experience on the SR and that our experiences may not mirror those of the  one or two weekends per year most folks only get. Heck- we often say that.
 Combined with the fact that other forums and pro reports are out there makes me think we aren't  all that relative when somebody is making plans.
 I DO believe our suggestions on how to fish as well as tackle tips can help make someones trip a more likely success, that's a good thing.
This forum has become a circle of friends- some whom have never met- sharing a common addiction- kinda think that comes through loud and clear in a good way.
Those OTHER places with the 40  Kings a day reports are far more likely than we to attract a lurker- heck on a great day most of us only get a couple to BITE.

  Thats for sure r3G3. great conversation on and off the water. Went this year for the first time with Charlie had a great trip and our catch of the day were a bunch of chubs and a small mouth. Looking forward to my next trip with him and meeting the rest of the crew one day here on the forum. Let the kids with the big egos brag about all the big numbers of fish they caught I think most of us here do it the right way and are sucessful doing it.
  The river means more to me than 40 hook ups a day it is like they said in Happy Gilmore go to your happy place and that for me is the river. Fish or no fish.

Nice fishing guys and no worries . I understand the crowds will come one come all over for salmon, its the chrome / trout I don't want to see get picked on to much.
I don't like going to pucker bush creek or getting up at O'dark thirty to much ..
Maybe the water will come up a bit and open up more opportunities .. Itchin to try some warts
Fish On !!
