JG, I do agree with you about posting lies to misdirect people as being somewhat unethical. For those who do that I wish they would just not post. On the other hand, as I posted when I became moderator here for awhile, these public internet forums are not a proper place to post about less known zipperlip rivers. Those are to be discovered by yourself, or going with friends and not revealing where it is. As for answer most Q's about water condtions a night or two ahead of a prospect trip, I think that's fair game and alright to help with fishability condition posts - again, except for the rare zippers. Posting how the fishing is on large bodies of water such as Elliot Bay, the Cowlitz, NF Lewis, or Columbia I don't have any probs with that. It can help anglers who only get to fish once a week to fish an area with a chance to catch a fish. >>>

As for posting about fishing techs, which I have done more than anyone (partly because it's become a paid gig), there is an old saying among sporting fishermen - "Tell them how, but not where." >>>

BTW JG, how would ya know you fished where 'Fly and I did? Neither of us posted where that was. And there is no 'hero' bull**** about it. Catching fish is easy; not heroism. Also Fly and I have business promo reasons for posting about good days sometimes. Despite that, we both have WAY more good days than are posted about (or pictured).
