... someone who would send people on wild goose chases that may only have a Saturday plus the cost is not cool.

Well said!

Not a matter of not liking. Bailey is actually one I recommend to people. Its the BS that AGFC does with the reports or should I say lack of realistic report. They would do better contacting The Dam Store, Hook Line and Sinker and Southtown and get reports from people who hear from anglers each day.

That is how they do the report, I have been in HL&S when they were busy and they handed me the phone to give a report. The problem is most people stop on their way out not on the way back in, so reports are late since they get reports from last trip that could be a week old.

Interesting, never seen HLS listed in AGFC reports I can remember. Maybe the Paper but I don't read that. Week Old is nothing new the best weekly magazine I know of was always a week behind but at least gave you very decent chances with information available. A lot more reliable than what the AGFC report gives.

The Thursday edition of Benton County paper will usually quote someone from HLS in the weekly report. It's very generic stuff, but I guess it could give a person a starting point.

I wish we had a good weekly magazine that covered hunting and fishing out here I use to love getting my Western Outdoor News every week. best dam magazine published IMO.

Yep that would be a good thing to have a weekly. Used to get "Fishing and Hunting News" weekly when I lived in WA state - however guys would complain about it saying that it was giving away their secret spots and baits - you can't win.

I guess the weeklys are bigger out west than here.

I use to get bugged by a few of the field reporters to take them duck hunting and when I showed them what I was doing they said " I cant report this no one would believe me " I was using a big spread of coots and canvasbacks. I still laugh about it but have kept in contact with a few of them who still use my spread and still wont report it.

It would be a daunting task out here to keep up with the major lakes alone then tack on hunting possibilities it wouldn't be a small weekly mag for sure. Might even cause some family arguments over need for a new bathroom added because the Man of the House wont come out of his for 3 days lol.

[Quillback]

I can't remember exactly, but I would say 10-15 pages or so. Lots to cover out there, saltwater, freshwater, big game, small game, water fowl.

15? You got ripped off I think WON was like 40 or 50 lol... Man I should order that mag again keep up on west coast tactics.
