Hook up with guys you don't know, because you might just make a new friend, as was already stated. I have taken the "chance" on many ocassions, and I have always run into great folks. This is when I have learned great tips, and spots. Give, and ye shall receive.

This is my first really active year steelheading in over 10 years, and have really enjoyed getting to know some new folks, and some new water. Up to 15 so far this season, and I still have time left.

I have also taken many folks out on my boat, or shown them some of my spots. This I will do one at a time.

If you want info on one of the mass market fishing hotspots like Sekiu, I'll share just about everything down to what underwear I had on and the GPS coordinates. Zipperlips are gifts of great value, so when someone shows me one of those, I will share it sparingly. I hope you understand my thoughts on this issue.
