Todd, Phish Phreak;

Thanks for adding some sanity to this thread.

I may have nothing new to add but I'm going to throw in a few comments:


To those of you who chastise others for a "Zipper-Tude" I ask you this: Will you tell anyone and everyone all you know about anyplace you fish? If your answer is yes, I argue that you must be one of the following:

A) You are some sort of "fish prophet" who's task is to lead the masses to the fish.
B) You fish only already over-crowded and well-publicized places.
C) You don't catch enough fish to care about keeping it quite.
D) You are simply not very smart; like the kid who finds a $20 bill at the carnival only to hold it up and yell, "Who wants this?"
E) You have a low level of investment, never having actually found any places yourself, so you want to develop a "sharing" with others in the same boat so you will never have to find any yourself. Then you choose the Internet to do this, spreading the word to thousands at a fell swoop!

Which is it?

"Putting back into the resource" has absolutely nothing to do with blabbing about the few places left that don't have/don't need the pressure.


Consider the view of a well known and respected NW guide/writer/guru who's quotes and outlook seem to be highly esteemed by the majority of board members:

"How to, always; where to, never!"


Here's to keepin' it zipped!
