I have noticed over the last year that the reports have become fewer and fewer on the waflyfishers list. Is this due to so many new members asking basic questions on where and what? I personally have contributed a weekly report discussing tactics and locations but have noticed the senior members contributing virtually nothing except for clarification on the regs. I have seen the sport grow in the last ten years to record numbers. That said, perhaps it is possible that many members are tired of seeing the crowds in their favorite fishing holes, myself included. Perhaps waflyfishers could offer a second list to the beginners so not to be bombarded the list with the same old questions and to entice more information from those grungy old fly fishers. I miss seeing the posts of the likes of Leland, Preston, Les J, and others who have fished for years. Fly fishing is so diverse in its methods and fish to fish for and I enjoy reading about most of it including&nbs!

p; the Yakima even though I never fish there, but lets try not to become just another fishing list, with the same beginner questions over and over. If beginners want to read some information on Washington fly fishing, try the archives. Also, try using your spell check so you do not look like you are illiterate.
