Disappointing to see the comments towards Joe. I have been reading his reports on and off for years and my view is his updates are genuine and based on the best information available at the time. I certainly have seen his forecasts be right far more often than not. Although I have not met Joe and would not be able to recognize him if he was standing in front of me I know folks who have and speak highly of his character.
I found the comments about the Clearwater to be interesting as well. I recall being on the Clearwater almost 30 years ago , with a boat every 20 yards as far as the eye can see up and down the river, plenty of them being guide buts but lots of sporties as well.
I do agree there needs to be rule changes to add protections to the fish but not negatively targeting guide operations because of all the families and businesses that rely on that income.
