Adam-
Thank you for your comments....and for proving my point for me. Your "easy to be an elitist when you are elite" line is classic TVL! Not to mention comical! I don't even need to mention your other great lines in that post as they are obvious!
The problem I have with TVL...and you apparently...isn't that you catch fish. I said first thing in my post that the fish is legit and you guys are good fisherman....you are not good conservationists though. My problem is that TVL, and the Berry Family, has the opportunity to educate people about conservation, preservation, and respect of OUR fisheries in South East Idaho. Yes, I hate to break it to you, but the Berry family and TVL do not own the rivers in Idaho. In fact, you guys dont have any more rights and priveledges than myself or any other avg joe blow who enjoys wetting a line and respects the abundance of trout and wildlife in the area. Instead, you (TVL/Berrys) constantly portray a frat boy attitude towards your surroundings and particularly the fish. Your family has the classic attitude of entitlement....you know, the we were doing it first so we are the best and rules don't apply to us attitude. It is clear to anyone who watches your videos, or has had personal interaction with your family...and I find it sad that with such a great opportunity to be leaders in the industry you/they have instead chosen to be punk bitches.
So prove me wrong. Lets see some video of careful fish handling instead of the one handed grip, squeeze, toss method that you have already shown to have mastered. How about upgrading to a rubber net, time to toss the old mesh fellas! Maybe you can show us something besides spawned out browns off the lower S Fork that are trying to put on some weight to make it through the winter right now. I could easliy go on, but I doubt you will be receptive to any suggestions.

Adam-
Name one head guide for another lodge who used to guide for TVL. Seriously....just one! HFA? SFL? TLAPC? WCA? Heise? Three Rivers?

Do you guys still put ribbons on the banks that are good to fish so that your new guides know where they are supposed to fish?

When is TVL going to get a real Drift boat? I hear your clients are tired of sitting on coolers.

I bet your happy that the sunk TVL Lodge boat below Riverside on the H. Fork finally disintegrated. That was embarrasing for the last 10rs!

Oops. Another TVL guide just left the truck with the keys in it on the boat ramp while he floated off down the river. Need me to go park it for you guys again?

Are your guides still using clickers to count fish/missed fish?

Just a few thoughts that crossed my mind from your last post..........

Ouch.

Adam - should I put in at Ora this time of year?

Another question for Adam:

You don't work for TVL any more, but you are still family - so should i low-hole you on the South Fork, or not?

All these rules and regulations get so confusing.

[lol @ TVL and the Berry family.]

Nice fish, crappy attitude. Your family has quite a reputation, it appears. So, how's the fishing between Ora and Vernon this time of year? Your family, but more importantly their business ethic, is a joke. You are all 110% failures at being decent human beings, fish all you want, you're still a pack of a$$h0les. I hope TVL goes out of business this year.

Dingle Berry,

Did you really post this bullshit on behalf of TVL? You really think this way? well you guys are punks.

ignorant, spoiled whiny-ass punks.
