Default Every time I cross a bridge over the Willy...

This week, nearly every time I've driven over the willy I nearly cause a wreck because someone is fighting a fish. Tuesday while crossing she Sauvis island bridge around 5:30 pm there was a boat netting one near the pilings on the upstream SI Side & another guy looked to have one on by the Yellow buoy. Yesterday around 6:30 pm I saw a guy netting one as I crossed the I-5 bridge. & this morning on my way in at about 7:45 Am there was a guy fighting one under the steel bridge.

I need to put blinders on or I'm gonna cause a wreck for sure. ODOT really needs to get on top of these guys or we are going to have major traffic tie ups through out the spring.

When you do have a wreck I know a really great body shop to go to. Just PM me and I'll take good care of you. :grin:

BTW thanks for the report.

Yeah, last monday I had the same problem driving over the Marquam. It can be distracting for sure to see a net fly when you're driving by.

Every time I look over the bridge wife says, wish you would stretch your neck out like that for me once in a while! I hate that....

Remember few years ago heading to Tillamook, with a gal from the office and came around a corner and a guy in a drift boat was fighting a fish, I darn near ran the rig off the road trying to watch the battle.
