Meatstick,
I don't think these guys are saying that they own the river at all. Most of them are just giving some friendly advice if ya don't want to fish with a ton a guys when you go down next time don't say geez I caught...... Now your saying that the small rivers that are mentioned here don't get a ton of pressure from internet fishermen because of a good report you got another thing comin. Seen it happen in person. If you think that it doesn't effect the pressure quite a bit then lets hear your favorite small little river spot. But you probaly wont hear mine. The reason I look at the board is mostly for fishing advice and the friendship of the guys I've met through the net with the similar pursuit of fish. I've made the same mistake, being exited about catchin fish and luckily a good friend pulled me aside and gave me a good talking to. Not that he owned the river but that you just might think of the impact that you could cause not only on the river but also on how the local treat you and your stuff. Because if you think that some of these locals arent goin to get mad about a lot of pressure just take a look at when the Green was gettin alot of pressure. After two or three weekends of twelve plus boats a day people started to miss wheels off there trailers and thats not a back woods river. Now its not right but I would rather not say anything and not deal with the criap. Now if your asking about how a float is I can understand that though. Well I'll get off the milk box now. Happy fishin to all.
Tight lines
