Fished the Wishka yesterday it has a nice mix of hatchery and natives in it now,this river has it all some very nice drift water and some nice plug water well worth the effort right now.

This is the last year of hatchery fish in the Wishkah rv.

why do you feel the need to do this,
I'm sure all the locals are thanking you,

Anglers if you head this way be careful not a lot of access and the some of the land owers will shoot at you..No$hit...thanks...lastcast

small river, small numbers of fish,small brain at work.....

Where exactly in the Wild Wild Wild West is this place????

Last time I checked, shooting at, near, or a tresspasser will pretty much land in you jail, *regardless* of where you are.

Also, last time I checked, even if tresspassing, if someone fires at you, you have the right to defend yourself.

So, by my logic, not only will the river be packed full of people, they will all be armed now! Way to go guys, keep up the good work!

Osprey, Nicely said! You have to know how to spell it if your going to find it. Bank access is VERY limited and it is a friend of the tackle shop,ie.you will loose tons of gear.

Parker I know how it sounded but I've personally been thru this ordeal,it'scary and we were just anchored up by this guys property,He fired his shotgun ,kinda at us,if he wanted to hit us I would'nt be here.
it's not the wild wild west...it's just Grays Harbor
I quit packing heat along time ago...Os

I just had to verify and yep they call it murder. Redrum Redrum

Bravo! Last cast.......well done! I very much appreciate you sharing a small, delicate river with the masses.

Which head did you use when you started this thread?

last cast -sorry dude, probally won't be putting to many more posts like that on the board will ya....

Last Cast, I think your post was just plain ignorant. This river cant take the heavy pressure like some of the other rivers are getting, thanks for sharing it with the thousands who look at this board.

May be Last Cast & Rookie need to get to gether to find out how and when to post info
that should or shouldn't be posted???????.
Good luck,

Last cast, I read your post and i'm dropping everything and heading over to the Whiskah. NOT . Do you guys really think from this post people will create traffic jams around the Wishkah based on one persons opinion on one day of good fishing that may or may not have happened?. There's plenty of rivers in this state with fish. I,ve fished forks area for the last 16 or so years,and the fishing pressure out there over the last year and a half has increased. Do you blame this on Bob and his daily photos, NO neither do I! I personaly like to know how others are doing around the state. just my .02

Sounds like Last Cast could get a job writing for FISHING AND HUNTING NEWS.

Common sense when posting about small rivers especially with hostile property owners. Dont tell the locals its 2001.

Sorry to bust chops, but do you think if you all ignored these types of post's, that less would be thought of it??? Now you've got a thread with several people verifying that a "sweet spot" has been revealed! Every yahoo Internet Fisherman will be there this weekend! Ignore Em from now on. It has much less impact.

I am a riverfront landowner and it baffles me that NO TRESSPASSING signs go ingored and when you do confont a tresspasser they act as if they have a "right" to be on your property. I usually take the nice approach when I confront tresspassers inasmuch as I tell them that this is private property and if I let them in here, then I have to let everybody in here too. If they don't leave promptly and still argue with me, then I ask them if they would like to pay for the road maintenace and property taxes while they're at it since they seem to think they can be there just because they want to. I pack heat on my land, but so does half of Darrington so what good does that do? I don't carry weaponry because I fear people or need to intimidate them, but I do fear cougars and bears. I once came face to face with a sow black bear with cubs, scared the [Bleeeeep!] out of me and fortunately she bailed with her little ones in the opposite direction.

I just want to let people know that NO TRESSPASSING means exactly that, you'd be lucky to find landowners as nice as me, most will shoot first and ask questions later. It sucks that people are stupid enough to shoot at tresspassers but if you don't belong there, you don't belong there, it's that simple. Be safe and when it's posted, stay the flock out!!!

Hey LastCast
Dont feel bad about posting some good news about a good day fishing. I thought that was what this site was for. There will always be a few crybabies that piss and moan cuz they think that the river is theirs. Why do you think those guys visit this site? I dont s'pose any of them ever learned about a new spot here did they? I wonder if they realized at the time that some guy who thought he owned that river was crying because they "didn't belong there"

As a matter a fact I havent Meathead.I do my own exploring!!What is your trip don't want to see it shut down because thats were you find all your spots??You look to me like a newbw that is silent and all you want is info not give any..


As for meathead here is a picture of him looks like he might just be the cry baby cuz his info might be shut off..TM

Meatstick,
I don't think these guys are saying that they own the river at all. Most of them are just giving some friendly advice if ya don't want to fish with a ton a guys when you go down next time don't say geez I caught...... Now your saying that the small rivers that are mentioned here don't get a ton of pressure from internet fishermen because of a good report you got another thing comin. Seen it happen in person. If you think that it doesn't effect the pressure quite a bit then lets hear your favorite small little river spot. But you probaly wont hear mine. The reason I look at the board is mostly for fishing advice and the friendship of the guys I've met through the net with the similar pursuit of fish. I've made the same mistake, being exited about catchin fish and luckily a good friend pulled me aside and gave me a good talking to. Not that he owned the river but that you just might think of the impact that you could cause not only on the river but also on how the local treat you and your stuff. Because if you think that some of these locals arent goin to get mad about a lot of pressure just take a look at when the Green was gettin alot of pressure. After two or three weekends of twelve plus boats a day people started to miss wheels off there trailers and thats not a back woods river. Now its not right but I would rather not say anything and not deal with the criap. Now if your asking about how a float is I can understand that though. Well I'll get off the milk box now. Happy fishin to all.

While I agree giving the exact place is not usually a good idea, there is no point in getting wound up by little secrets being revealed. Welcome to the free exchange of information. Some people are more free about it than others.

Also, if access is so limited, how long do you think people are going to drive great distances to find they cannot get to the river? Sure some (many?) will trespass, but it doesn't sound like it will happen repeatedly (if they really will be shot at by the six toe residents). I don't like fishing that much, especially when public access abounds [walla walla english removed]in every region of the state.
