River looks like crap below the Toutle.  Best bet would be Blue Creek with all the crazies!

Reminds me of the north east whitetail east vs west thread. Everyone from somewhere else comes here to fish it. But everyone complains there’s no fish and too many people. Sound fimliar?
You gonna draw those pistols or whistle Dixie?
