WC,

I don't access the River Report page, so I don't know about it's dynamics. But I do know that there has been a lot of criticism toward unwitting members who post about success on lesser known rivers or lesser known hot spots on medium rivers. This is a challenge for fishing websites in the modern 'information age' on the internet. Part-time fishers often aren't aware that serious fishers disdain seeing reports about smaller 'zipperlip' rivers. For a good reason; it can bring more pressure to that limited area because of the widespread readership on this site. I don't think it affects the pressure as much as some would have you think, but I do agree that they should be left off internet reports. Those special places don't need more anglers. Have fun finding them by yourself. But for bigger rivers or other well known spots, that's fine to share info about the water conditions and general fishing success for those needing to make an important decision whether to skip work or cash in 'kitchen points' at home for! I think that is proper and a big value site memebrs. ...

I will go you one further as far as a question. While there are more Washington members here, there are a lot of Oregon members too. But almost all of the fishing reports are about Washington rivers on the BB. So my Q is, whazzup with that? Are you Oreos afraid that Wassies will start coming down to fish in Oregon if they read a good report? Not many for sure. I would like to see more Oregon river fishing reports on here - within the above guidelines.
