Nice of you to put words in my mouth... I will not be retracting any of my statements, thank you very much. I stand behind what I've said and posted, unlike some people on this forum, I think about what I write before it's posted. It doesn't matter how old or young a person is, they should educate themselves on the regulations prior to fishing a new area. I'm actually the same age as "youngsteelheader" and have spent the last few years learning and educating myself on the sport, the regulations and proper etiquette when fishing in larger numbers. New anglers should understand that they have a lot to learn from the more experienced anglers, there is an etiquette to fishing that should be respected and from what I've seen and heard, some of us "newbies" don't seem to understand that.
That being said, I, myself am NOT an experienced angler, only taking up the sport within the last five years. I don't fish Stamp Falls anymore because I'm not confident enough in my abilities to fish in the large groups, even if I was I'm not sure I like the "experience" Stamp Falls offers anyways, sounds like more trouble than it's worth most of the time. Not to mention at 7.5 months pregnant I won't be doing that hike anytime soon...
I actually SAW (yes, saw, with my own eyes) Tristan's video shot PRIOR to the opening of Stamp Falls, so don't try to dispel that to rumor. I also heard about an altercation he had with another (more experienced) bank angler (a personal friend) on whether or not you were allowed to continue fishing after killing your two fish. I'm not saying he's a bad kid, just needs to educate himself...
I do agree that there needs to be more presence from the new generation of "young" anglers within the sportfishing world, but are you really going to be happy if they voice their opinions and they differ from yours? You don't seem to do to well with opposition...
