Pinks bring out all walks of life ...I That's why I just sit home drinking a beer and laughing my ARZ off at the News ..

Isn't that the truth?  The nastier the fish, the more the bottom of the population will break rules to get them.  Everybody is semi-civil until a few black hook nose nightmares start rolling in the frog water.

Speaking of Kennedy Creek....     There is no fish on this planet that is worth fighting over, standing shoulder to shoulder or poaching!  It is amazing the quality (or lack there of) of fish that folks are willing to do stupid stuff for.

Lived here all my life. Watch people get all exited about fishing for them. Most just snag them I guess, in the upper river. They call it flossing there teeth?

I think the fresh, bright pinks are pretty good; but have seen some 'zombie pinks' still struggling around beyond their expiration date.  These things are decomposed but alive somehow--literally fins falling off/flesh chunks falling off/jaw dragging in the gravel.  I was fishing for silvers once and a zombie brushed against my line, the goo was so bad I nearly barfed.  Had to spool off some line and get a new leader.  Seriously that bad.  And some guy was completely ignoring the mint bright silvers in the river and loading up his trashbag with pinks.  He grabbed one and it looked like it slipped out of his hand, but it actually slipped out of its own skin.  Just said, "Ah, they smoke up a fine dip."

Yeah baby and dog salmon, twice as nasty and fight better.

Why is it the "states fault" or "they should mark it better" or  "its a sham put on so the state can levy a fine"!     The bottom line is that the river is closed between two bridges AND those bridges are clearly marked AND it is clearly marked in the regulations. I don't get this thinking that its up to the state to lay everything out and make it so simple that there is no personable responsibility on the license holder???
You guys can read a game pamphlet when you want to hunt a GMU so there is really no difference. I don't see signs surrounding every GMU telling you where we are at??? so if you shoot an animal over the boundary is that your fault or the WDFW cause they didn't mark it to your liking?

   I remember seeing those Chums out by Aberdeen in the creeks and they'd have skin peeling off and oil trailing behind them
