Regarding this thread, some of us who have not posted much simply do not have the time to do so. Being self employed, I can manage only one day a week off, and as a result, connot go scouting local rivers for so called "hot spots", as I have to do all the domestic things one must do away from the business, in addition to those things that cannot be done during business hours. That being said, many of us who ask for info are doing so out of necessity, as our time to fish is severely limited. I can only speak for myself, but, I'd much rather spend my limited time getting my line wet , as opposed to trying to find a spot that may produce fish. It's not laziness to try to glean information from others, rather, it is necessary to allow me a quality fishing experience. The joy of the hunt can be greatly exagerated.... My 2 cents..
Tight lines and bent rods!
