I'm from the states and have heard that the Frazer, especially bar 22 is bad. That said i have fished the Vedder many times, I come up nearly every week sometimes twice during steelhead season. I always walk back and am relieved my truck is fine. ( knock on wood)...Woodys drive in will let you park in his lot if he likes you and you talk to him and eat lots of those excellent mushroom burgers..
But seriously, on two of my last fishing trips south of whatcom county, Squire lake and Clear lake I've had my truck and my friends brand new F350 broken into. Last trip to Clear lake there were people all over the place and the ba$tards ripped off all my buddies rods, reels and wife and daughters purses. I felt lucky as i only lost my wader bag, rod case and misc. cloths. I WILL one day catch one of these methheads and i carry a special friend for that...Don't punch these guys out or their teeth could come out on your fist and you could end up with something un-cureable...
I would hope is has nothing to do with the threads on "other" fishing sites which seem to take great pleasure in ripping our American a$$es over our "war mongering" ways right Nicky? At least i would hope that's not the case...though that wouldn't surprise me too much either, lots of hard talk from behind computer screens but face to face is another matter with these creatons.
