Do you think it is fair?

[WBDluver]

Last year fishing the DSR on the Salmon river the new manager had a rule that guides and season ticket holders had a 15 minute head start down to the river. In other words, they got to pick the spots first and then the day pass holders could take what was left over. So do you think this is fair? Should those that have a season pass for their local golf course never have to make a tee time? Should those that have a season pass to a ski area always ski to the head to the line and not have to wait? What do you think?

I think that is a load of bullshit

Fair is relative.......

Is it fair that when an American league team plays in a National league team ballpark, their pitcher has to bat?

Doesn't really matter..............their turf, their rules.

The golf thing doesn't apply, tees times are mandatory to keep a flow. And the ski thing, well, I wouldn't be surprised if it started going that way to encourage people to buy season passes.

The option is to go elsewhere, or make the most of it.

Been a long standing that guides with clients get a half hour head start into the DSR.

Season pass holders.. I think it is fair.

For your information, even members of a private golf club DO HAVE TO MAKE TEE TIMES... on a first come first serve basis.

Lastly...

Last year a season pass for the DSR was $300.00
This year they upped it to $450.00

If you don't like the DSR rules.. you are more than welcome to joing me up in Pineville...

Season ticket holders always get special benefits that are not available to the regular ticket holders. Regardless of the sport or event; it's just a fact of life.

 

[thecabindude]

passholders at most ski areas do not wait in liftlines

is it fair?

sure, if you bought a season pass, it is!

 

[Drossi]

Nothing in life is fair.

or

Fair is foul...foul is fair.

half an hour?? Im pretty sure it is 15 minutes. Then again at times i cant remember what I had for breakfast

Just to add to your informal poll...

Doesn't matter if it's fair. It's their property and they can do with it as they please. Those that have a problem with their rules shouldn't pay to play there. As for the way things are in the DSR, you haven't seen nothing yet. Changes are in the wind.

There's also another group that gets to enter early. But, I won't spill any more of the beans.

Ok so has anyone stayed away because of their rules? Maybe I should have put it that way

Yes many do and they gripe about it all the time.

Personally, I like their rules. Since they only allow a limited number in each day it's never as crowded as the rest of the river and in turn there are less morons and snaggers there. Plus, it's patrolled better than the rest of the river, so many of the snaggers get warned or thrown out. Another thing the DSR has going for it is early in the season there are more fish there than the rest of the river. They could jack the daily access fee up to 100 bucks and I would still go there. If you are up there for a couple days to a week, you are already blowing alot of money for your enjoyment, so why not pay to be where the fish are. When on vacation, I try not to focus on the cost of everything. It takes away from the fun. Do some research, keep your ears open, there are ways to get free DSR passes. I rarely pay to get in. Do the time and you will learn the game.

My (evil "chuck & duck") stepson discovered that method... He says it gives you a "jump" on the guides.
He told me, it really POs the guides when they try to bring a client to a productive hole, only to find it already occupied.. :holy:


Disclaimer: The above is strictly hearsay. He's also a fairly convincing BS artist.

Pete,

You still haven't corrected him of his evil ways?

Is it fair? Well, they own it, so I guess they can make the rules. If I were you I would just go where you want to fish, if there is someone there. Well, there are things you can do to make them not want to fish next to you. Haha.

He must have learned chuckn' and duckn' from good old snagger dog. I hear if you look up SNAGGER in the dictionary, there is a picture of Corn Dog in there.

Yea CT (Snagger)...and you're right next to me in your boat with your **** eatin grin.

He was already a teen aged baiter when I met his Mom.. I do my best, I've been working on him for 26 years, but there's only so much you can do ....

As far as I can tell, the flycasting lessons, that he requested, were only because they changed the rules on the SR "fly zones".

Who taught him? No it wasn't anyone here....
A guide named George O'Brien, introduced him to the SR, and convinced him that if you have a fly on your leader, C&D is flyfishing.

Seems like the market at work. Maximum profit is where the price lines up with demand. If the price increases raise the profit they will stand; if not they will fall.

This raises the point that even though we take them for granted, fish resources are worth something. Access, stream maintenance, pollution control, stocking etc all cost money that must come from somewhere, even for public water. What DSR charges shows what the fishery in the public water is worth, even if you don't pay directly.

That fish on the front of his page is not even close to being 20lbs + . It is mid teens, but no where near being over twenty.

I was and still am hesitant to even say this fish was 20lbs.
