4/6/2010 7:13:00 AMAwesome job Pooh, way to get your son dialed in on his first metal. What is your deal Pilchuck? How are you so "all mighty?" I am sorry you are having such a bad life that you have to come on here and try and ruin peoples experiences.
Pilchuck, don't be such a pill.
Pilchuck, don't be such a pill.

4/6/2010 7:34:00 AM"real steelheaders" huh? Since you think people that catch hatchery fish are so unskilled, does that mean you think the generations of morons that fished Native Steelhead to the brink of extinction are somehow better?

4/6/2010 8:11:00 AMComments like pilchuck's is what finally drove me from away from writing reports anymore..
I am not the only one..way to go pilchuck, way to go.

4/6/2010 8:17:00 AMWow! Pilchuck must be the best Steelhead fisherman around. I've rowing a Driftboat in washington fo 30 years and have caught more big native steelhead then i can count. Fishing is fishing and i'll fish in a mud puddle if there is a fish there,especially if it's a bright Hatchery fish that i can bonk on the head. One question for flinginpooh,3 for 11 do you have a file in your vest? One question for Pilchuck, are you a spey rod fisherman?

4/6/2010 12:49:00 PMMr Pilchuck got a PM from me. Please people, when someone posts a rude comment like this let me know, OK? Otherwise we will lose more guys posting reports. Nice fish, I'll get the pictures added.

4/6/2010 12:54:00 PMpilchuck, do all of us a favor and go drown yourself in front of that hatchery, let the man and his son have a good time

4/6/2010 1:01:00 PMBTW, when you post a report you also have the ability to delete comments that are offensive to you. For the reporter, each comment has a "delete" link in the upper right corner. Feel free to use it for just such comments. Your son looks very happy in the picture, I hope the offending member has the integrity to apologize for his comment.

4/6/2010 4:40:00 PMNice report Pooh! Way to go, it's nice to see someone out there is having some good luck. Congrats to your son too! I didn't even see the comment that caused the uproar but it sounds like it was uncalled for. We post for the purpose of providing information to our fellow anglers, not so they can sit back and bash us on how we fish. To each his own, just keep it to yourself.

4/6/2010 7:27:00 PMCongrats on those nice looking fishes guys. Sounds like you guys were on fire. I'm going to have to try some of those glowballing again. The big one should smoke well, mine was excellent smoked. You know Pooh your right, you can't change people like Pill and don't even bother wasting your time, he's already shown his true color - a moron. Jens no matter what you shouldn't let those morons influence your reporting, we all enjoy reading them, especially me since I get to critique them. Do you still have your dress on?

4/6/2010 7:36:00 PMYour a great dad for taking yur son fishing,that is experience for a life time. I too take my son fishing (he just turned 14)often since starting to fish about a year ago. Any adive for a father and son team?, were looking to head up that way this weekend.

4/6/2010 7:57:00 PMPre tie alot of hooks. That would be my best suggestion lol. I end up setting him up sometimes 2 - 3 times before I get into the water. Hes almost has a full year of river fishing in now. And hes getting alot better about snagging on things. He has learned to get them off on his own and does decent at small tangles and such. But tying hooks forget it. Not his thing yet and really Id rather tie them to make sure they are right until hes ready. He just turned 11 a few months ago. Youll be seeing his reports soon enough and Im sure hell be out fishing alot of us, myself included. Oh and if you want to take him to crowded fisheries make sure you teach him about casting order. It makes a huge difference and helps from gettin other anglers angry.

4/7/2010 1:21:00 PMAfter receiving a message from Mike C. in regards to a rude post posted by me and a little research in the matter it seems my idiot friends thought it would be fun to post a message on here while I was away from my computer. I apologize to all, as I had nothing to do with what was posted.

4/8/2010 12:58:00 PMI am jealous! Great job. More of us Dads need to get the kids involved in the outdoors, instead of sitting in front of the TV and/or computer. Nothing beats these types of experiences (for both the kids and parents)! Keep the line wet......

4/10/2010 11:42:00 AMNice fish ! This is what its all about. Sharing experiences with family and friends. I cant stand the negative comments from members when people are doing nothing wrong! Fishing in its original form is about man trying to feed himself. If you want to be a purist, go on a hike to a remote mtn lake, not whine about people keeping hatchery fish in a stocked river system. Do you really think fighting a fish on light weight gear doesnt cause mortality just because you c&r. When I see a fish floating dead down a river from some elitist , its a shame full waste. Wasting fish is not a sport. I fish all the time but i havent reported very often because of the whinny attitude of some. Thats going to change. Every fish I catch i m going to show, just to irritate you so called better fisherman.
