This seems to be a hot topic at the moment. I have read most of the responses concerning the other post as well. Cohoangler--nice job. Eric--I can see your point as well. No one likes their "secret" spots hammered. I have also spent alot of time going the extra mile-climbing cliffs ect to find those great places, but most of them are on rivers that people already know about to a certain degree. I just dont think we have as many streams/creeks ect as you guys up in Washington.

Many of us fish for the relaxation/meditation that it brings. I also fish 8-10 times a month as well--sometimes for the experience and sometimes because I know that I can go put on a clinic and hammer fish all day! Someone asks me if there are fish in a popular X River-sure, go catch them. This BB is not going to influence pressure one bit. I made a comment earlier on the Wind River when it was hot--everybody knows it-no secret. Many of you guys could probably fish circles around me, but I fish circles around alot of people too and me telling them that there are fish there does by no means mean they are going to catch them.

Alot of guys on this board are the 10%ers-you, Ladies and Gentlemen, know what youre doing. You dont want to say-thats great, dont. I am from Oregon and sometimes I like to go fish up North where things are a little different. When I ask for information-"Hey, is now a good time?" "Are the natives showing in X River?", I expect a reasonable answer--like no, or I would try someplace else. I have gotten that so far, but if somebody wants to be an a**hole and send me on a 4 hour drive to be a jerk to a river with no fish because he thinks that river is a secret-get over it-I am just asking for specifics. I understand about keeping secrets and e-mail is often times better, but if a guy is asking about a river anyone can find, what's the problem?
