It's semi-****ing easy people. Stop lurking and start participating in comraderie, then all the people that show up at your river you won't feel so angered about because you know them. You have exchanged ideas, past glories, future glories, and probably even shared a time or two with that girl...don't worry EEEEEVERYBODY knows who she is wink

I'm an advocate for working smarter; not harder. Others, are just plain lazy and would like you to tell them right where to stand. rolleyes Granted there may be no secret rivers, but damn it man, if you are going to post about a river, do it on a Sunday evening or something. rolleyes

For we regulars, we pretty much know what other regulars fish what rivers and we have a nice network going so we don't post about it, and it's worked great. Only pissed off one guy that I know of and that directly wasn't my fault wink

To the other guys that have helped me along the way, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE NORTHWESTERN HOSPITALITY Just thank you in general. You guys know who you are...hell might be a woman or two in there too that gets spanked...oops, meant "thanked". laugh wink

I've been battling the flu for over 6 days, but still I get to fish vicariously through my friends and it helps speed along the recovery. Not to mention the GREAT night I had Wedn. and the Sat. morning I had which both attributed to the flu because I was out fishing. The only way I would have caught those fish were from 2 "prestigious" eek members who first told me about the river 2 years ago. Yes, I had help, yes I have come along in my angling, but I am still humble enough to share whatever info I can....smaller rivers and zippers = "Fuhgeddaboutit"

Just do a credit-check or background check on the guys/gals before you indulge info to them. I bet all those Oly guys wish they would have done that 2 years ago...suckers :p LOL j/k
