Default Typical Northwest River

After landing and releasing 2 steelhead and 1 coho in the morning on the East Fork, my girlfriend and I decide to take some pictures if I have any more luck.Well her first experience on the river was marred by a guy who grumbled he was being pushed out of his spot, he grumbled about typical northwest river, started slamming his gear around, and told his embarresed 12 year old boy they were leaving. This as we walked up to a tailout that was 100 feet wide, with only one rod.
What a tantrum, I was glad to see him go, but it was an ugly scene.

That kind of thing tends to bother me too. As a matter of fact it seems I got a lot of that on that particular river. You can't make everyone happy, many are predisposed to being unhappy about one thing or another. Heck wit 'em! Just smile.

Tilla --- I thought maybe it was the Bazooba Boat. No room for anyone else. :grin:

He's got to get glad before he can get mad again.
What the heck is a bazooka boat?

Reel Fun --- The Big Bazooba Boat is Tilla's giant aircraft carrier-type sled. It is so wide that you could actually land a small airplane sideways on it.

And it catches way too many fish on our little river too.

Here is the 3 engined Bazooba boat equipped with crab pots instead of the usual aircraft carrier deck.
