Low water conditions in your area?

Yea, it's been a rough summer. Too bad about not being able to get out in Washington, that's some pretty country out there. Hopefully you can get back this way soon, I like the area around Preston too.

Yeah it’s kind of heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place as coastal Washington get trashed. It has such potential, and there’s a huge variety of fishing opportunities, but it just isn’t what it used to be. Lots of trash everywhere, poaching is rampant, they allow commercial fishermen to net the mouths of salmon spawning creeks, but then they try to kill off the bass because somehow they’re to blame for the salmon tanking, not the dams, nets, poor habitat and out of control sea lion populations. The whole state is just a train wreck, and it keeps getting worse. The droughts are frustrating in Idaho, but it’s better than the mess here.
