Ultimately I would like to see a more robust presence of wardens focusing on the big ticket game crime and annoying stuff. We all know of salmon rivers essentially ruined by snagging. We all know of the sled guy with more than a limit under that floorboard. We all know the gravel bar where...

Not sarcastic at all. Wardens used to be anglers and sportsmen that went into the trade. Now it's cops, ex cops, and or other law enforcement. I got checked and the guy was arguing with me about one of my coho being a king. It took others at the ramp to convince him that it was 2 cohob he was...

Nobody at the department fishes anymore so you get a more law enforcement vibe.

Fuck those people too. It's the same people restoring to name calling etc. Yet here they are still doing what they do. I'd like to interface with some of those assholes in person around a campfire and see just how cowardly they behave when the possibility of dealing with someone in person...

They can change the fucking channel then. People that report threads are fucking weak intellectually small people that want their coffee, their news, and their life experience filtered for maximum smoothness. Let them eat grit. If the mismanagement of the agencies monetary resources that...

Make no mistake I'm just as skeptical and untrusting towards those guys as well. Fact is this country is in debt to the point default is nearly imminent. Accountability where taxpayer money goes is non existent. I also have no illusions that the above isn't a good ol' boy network of cronies and...

Not arguing there have not been drought years recently. It's obvious to anybody paying attention or working outdoors especially in natural resources. As for federal money for declaring drought goes it's meant to be distributed to farmers and other affected industries. Which in itself I'm not...

The top 1 percent pay about 40 percent of federal taxes. The top 10 percent pay approximately 75 percent. What again is their fair share? How will taxing them more deal with a spending problem? I'm not in the habit of going to bat for the ultra wealthy but the idea they don't pay taxes is...

I've played with it. The line as with all flt fishing is the critical element. Beulah has a line called the serum if I remember correctly. That's a good place to start. Many Spey lines and heads are appropriate in lighter weights than you would Spey cast. In all honesty I just went back to...

Who could have predicted this response from this member. I would wager the farm you're not half as bold in person. Then again the keyboard is quite a handy shield.

The individual property rights champion in me cannot allow that. Public trust land isn't held by an individual though. It has intent.

Perhaps it doesn't translate well in print but I meant you no offense. You simply stated the biggest waste you've witnessed was in private. I responded with contrary ideas. Again I did not mean to offend you or speak to you in a belittling way. That was not my intent. If that was how it was...

Five overweight guys leaning on shovels while the summer hire digs a hole is a pretty compelling case and one I've seen often. To even assert that government agencies get more value per man hour or dollar is insane. But please explain to me how the sky is green. What are the odds that private...

Government workers of the world unite!

In other local news discover passes are up in price and local DNR land are to close due to funding shortfalls. Apparently a lack of timber sale revenue is coming home to roost. I wonder how that happened?

For reference since I'm sure it will be asked. 75 percent water availability is the drought demarcation level. Yes, the snowpack sucks. But resavoirs look pretty full up from what I see. Now I know I shouldn't trust what I see with my own eyes so I'll have to dig into that and get the official...

Good for you compliant citizen 21240

A deep thinker like yourself surely considered it ouldn't possibly be the federal money they get. There is zero incentive to not declare a drought so they do it every year.

False. Washington declares drought as a routine. Why do you think that is?

Precip has been above average. Snow below average. Is that a drought?
