Just a little commentary here, and maybe better placed in a blog, but anyway... There seems to be a popular trend on the trout streams forums these days where any OP who asks for advice on rivers to fish or even tactics and current conditions on particular streams is answered with derision by some. The idea is these OP's are looking for quick fixes or inside information that will allow them to walk into someone else's honey hole, bring all their buddies, leave a bunch of beer cans and worm containers, and fish out the resource. Such requests are met with comments that portray the OP's as spoiled, immediate-gratification punks unwilling to put any effort at all into finding their own places to catch fish.
Ok, I get that restrictions on posting about specific holes or unmentionables isn't a bad thing, but people, I think we're getting a little paranoid. I mean, who among us hasn't had a dog-eared copy of Linsenman and Nevala's "Trout Streams of Michigan" sitting on the dash when we first headed north, trying to gain our own place in the spectacular river resource we'd heard so much about? And by the way, Linsenman and Nevala's tell-all guide to Michigan trout streams was published some 16 years ago!
Coaching our knowledge-seekers to explore on their own is a good thing, don't get me wrong. But let's not make assumptions about their character based on their asking our advice. They are doing the same research we all did when we first began to explore the streams of Michigan. They are just using different tools.
