I fished Strike 3 days this weekend. We pounded the fish. I brought home about 10 to 15 a night enough for dinners for me and the folks I was fishing with. I watched people from many different places (Oregon, Idaho, and Utah boat numbers) act like jerks. I chose to move to another spot, because there are fish everywhere in that lake. Seems like someone sees one guy catch a fish and they all want to fish that spot. We were trolling for crappie on Friday and had one boat jump on every spot we caught a fish. I watched the same boat do the same thing to other folks Saturday. Epic behavior. same with the guys that anchored up 10 feet away and then had the gall to thank me for finding the fish.
I will throw out there that people that stereotype based on license plates are the same dudes that have locals only stickers in their trucks but drive 4 hours to crowd people out of a salmon spot at RIGGINS or OROFINO. Yeah, I grew up in the 1A, but don't live there anymore. I have been a steward of Idahos resources for 35 years, volunteered thousands of hours for conservation and fishing education, not just a donation to some conservation charity every year, and educated hundreds of folks on how to preserve our sporting traditions.
Yea, we get it. I see things getting worse before they get better. Wait till Boise is a million people...
