I Grade I am new to steel head fishing I have not made it up there yet but would like to. I find your statements rather offencive an if that is the kind of attitude you have about people new to the sport then I am glad I will not be seeing you up there! Like has been said it is not a secret an at less then 700 views more people would see a photo at Fishermans than this post.
You need to face the fact that more an more people are going to fishing our lakes an rivers. At least on this forum we can ethics along with fishing holes.
Also if you will not be sharing info anymore why be part of this forum unless you want to just learn about other people fishing holes an tactics an in that case you are no better then the people you are upset about!
I wonder how many of those were members of our forum, or even guys from our forum new to fishing?I went there for the first time this season this morning and I will never go back. It was nothing like seasons past. In years past I would share that stretch with 4-5 guys easy and not get any @$$holes to screw it up for everyone else.
on an Ifish trip or what?Those days are gone. I kept getting people crowding me and running WELL into my drift. I knew it was just a matter of time before the word got out....now it totally sucks. It is as bad or worse than Dog Creek now. No one was catching any fish, and there is trash and garbage all over. It is ruined.... some things are best kept to yourself. From now on my bragging will be confined to WHAT I caught and not WHERE I caught it....loose lips sink ships.
Sadness,

I think I understand now. This entire forum is actually a place to exchange poaching tips and then make jokes about it. HAHAHAHA.... I guess the joke is REALLY on me. That is why 'I Grade' is leaving this forum to you poaching fans out there. I guess honor and law abiding is for we 'old schoolers' out there and you hip young kids are all too COOL to worry about proper management of a dwindling resource. So remember to keep the leaders long....10' seems to be the magic number, and dont forget your nail clippers to get that pesky fin clipped off those natives while you are at it.

Hmm....Lets turn back the clock for a minute....
Whats the deal man? Your continual degrading of forum members either blatant or indirect is starting to get offensive(to me at least.). IDK. Maybe its just me, Barb seems to think I take everything the wrong way anyways.
I wont be wasting my time at the "OFF Hole" or Eagle Creek. Just because we all know that EC is terrible doesn't mean that Faraday has to be the same way. It WAS great....now it isn't... it was NEVER a secret, but it was also NEVER talked about on a forum like this (to my knowledge). I am here to tell you that I had fools come up within 10 yds of me and cast their frigging bobber and jig like it wont get in the way of me tossing spinners. These are newbie ignorant fishermen that probably learned about the place from some blabbermouth here. Its just the way it is now. There IS trash everywhere....you dont walk far down if you disagree. The bank is strewn with beer cans and tackle wrappers. That place is ruined. Do what you want to defend it, but it is NOT the kind of place I see as fun to fish at anymore. Just my .02

I love the CAZhole....as I knew it before it became the OFFicial forum hole....I hooked my first nook there and my first steelhead there on little black Vibrax #3's. This is the only time of year that stretch of water gives up fish. I tried in the winter (January-ish) and hooked a nate but it was after 3 weekends of trying and failing. Enjoy her while shes hot! I might see you up there...I drive a grey tacoma (the truck of choice for this thread I noticed)

Interesting....this place wasn't a combat zone for the last 3 seasons, and now MAGICALLY it has become a Fishermans Normandy Beach. There are places on the Clack that produce more fish consistently, but you gotta have a boat to get to most of them. I am glad I finally have a boat in the family (THANKS BRO!) so i can avoid the @$$holes to elbows kind of conditions that I had at Faraday yesterday. I don't care if you are a new fisherman...take a look around you and see what others are and more importantly ARE NOT doing....like drifting your offering 50 yds PAST THE NEXT GUY DOWNSTREAM. Learn to fish and I won't resent having to stand by you. I dont normally throw all my goods into my backpack and hike away from my 'spot', but I had to twice yesterday. Faraday is the kiddie pool of Clackamas fishing holes now. Thanks!
