Would someone be willing to list out all of the acronyms on the sight (i.e. NFR, SRC etc.) for those of us still trying to figure them out on our own? Still getting used to this website's language...Thanks for the trouble! Ross

There are definitely some terms that seem to be specific to the Northwest. The fish have multiple names Silvers = hook-nose = Coho Salmon King = Black Mouth = Chinook Salmon Red Salmon = Sockeye Dog Salmon = Chum Salmon SRC = Harvest Trout = Sea-run Cutthroat Freshet = rain or showers winter brat = square-tail = Steel = Steelhead Stilly = Stillaguamish Skok = Skokomish Sky = Skykomish OP = Olypic Peninsula Chris = The Boss In terms of sexing fish, although its obvious, people refer to the male as a "buck" and the female as a "doe" or "hen". Then, as previously mentioned, there are the tons of acronyms people use with their everday language. One I learned this past year was IMHO - "in my honest opinion" or also abbreviated to "IMO" in my opinion. Which ones have we left out???
Out here on the south coast, alot of the old timers call searun cutthroat "Bluebacks." Seems to be a local term. Jimbo
LDR is one that confused me for quite some time and I ended up imagining a totally different interpretation. Some say LDR - Long Distance Release I imagined LDR - Lost During Reeling Joe
I had this same problem a few years ago and I went to www.magicpub.com/netprimer/acronyms.html. It made every thing clear. But not all that is said here is in there. Like IMHO is as stated "In my humble opinion" There are about 6 pages there so have fun. Jim
Thanks for explaining NFR. I've been scratching my head over that one for a while. In the Army, NFR meant: N o F oreign R elease I was thinking maybe those posts weren't supposed to be read by folks from - Ohio or some place like that.
A couple months ago I became a member of a group called the "ROMEOs", as in Retired Old Men Eating Out. We meet once a month at a pancake house. Back when I had to work I had Friday and Saturday for days off so my favorite acronym in those days was Sure Happy It's Thursday. This entire business is more fun when a person doesn't have to work anymore, no more SHIT. Doug
Here's some from some other flyfishing sites: RB = rainbow CT = cutthroat BT = brook trout OTOH = on the other hand "Age is a terrible price to pay for wisdom." ~ Anonymous
I'm gonna have to say BT or GB- Brown trout or German Brown Trout EB - Eastern Brook Trout JT- Jumbo trout YT- Whitey (a user) Streams are made for the wise man to contemplate and fools to pass by. (Sir Izaak Walton)
