ya Gooey you are right there are some people who tend to stretch the truth a little but thats as old as fishing itself wether we like it or not,as for your buddy at the ranger run on the weekend was the day he was there on Saturday? if so your buddies story is not quite accurate because it sounds quite similar to the encounter me and my partner had on Saturday with a lone fellow at the ranger,we arrived at the run and tried to have some friendly dialog with him regarding the days fishing ,we told him about the steelhead we had hooked and lost earlier in the day, the fish in question was a steelhead because we were able to have a good enough look at it to tell what it was, i think maybe your buddy probably wasn't really listen to our so called squawking or maybe he just isn't telling you an accurate report of the story,we noticed the fellow wasn't to interested in talking much so the conversation ended and the fellow soon left,for me i enjoy talking to other fisherman while on the the flow about the days fishing unfortunately some of the conversations i hear are not allways filled with truthfull content but thats ok its harmless and there is nothing wrong with a little friendly squawking among st fishermen.
