But I fell in love with the Millers River about 18 years ago, after I returned from a trip visiting a friend from Montana. <br /><br />I guess I was looking for a place in the area that reminded me of my friend (she lost a battle to cancer shortly after our trip). The Millers did it for me. I didn't catch anything, I didn't care. I was happy just wading, truth be told. <br /><br />When I retire I do plan on getting back to fishing again, and the Millers is where I'll start. In the meantime thanks much for this site, especially the pictures.<br /><br />-Jim G, Westminster MAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-62400590696558012532012-03-20T12:50:38.642-04:002012-03-20T12:50:38.642-04:00Ken,

I did join TU a while ago and I don't think it's fair to take shots at TU as a group, if a member says something, it's that members voice, not the whole group.<br />I work details, stock fish, clean the river on my own, and will continue to do so. I do it so I can enjoy the fishing, and others can as well. Ultimately, that's why we fish. To enjoy the outdoors and the wildlife.

You do so in a respectful and environmentally responsible manner. NEVER worry about someone who complains anonymously. These cowards always have balls the size of a #28 midge. Your reports and observations further the enjoyment of the sport for all that read here. Thank you for your hard work and I hope to hire you for a day this Spring.

I quoted the writer and proved him wrong.<br /><br />If someone decides to toss history into the trash and starts renaming pools on the Millers I'll speak up. If I believe that I see questionable activities then I will report them. It may not make me popular but I don't care.<br /><br />When I first published my Millers Guide in 2008 I had come to a conclusion: If I wanted to help this river I needed to find more friends for this river and that meant introducing more fly fishers to the river. And that meant going beyond the local watershed because there are not that many fly <br />fishers there.<br /><br />It worked. On any given day the majority of cars at the popular spots are not local. They are long distance fly fishers and they got there by reading this blog, seeing my slideshows on the Millers and by reading the Guide.<br /><br />How does this help the Millers? If there was a threat (like in 2002, please read my post)I can sound the alarm on this blog and post a link for an email attack to correct the situation like we did on the EB of the Westfield last year. I can send an email to close to a thousand fly fishers asking for help if need be. This certainly beats working in the slow motion confines of a "Group" where most want to talk about raffle items and waging war against beavers or having to do it all yourself as in 2002. I lost my patience with groups. That's where the "bad terms" come from. <br /><br />Ken <br /><br />P.S.
