Bojangles, you think it is busy out there now.. should of seen it 15yrs ago. There is a lot more shoulder room out there today IMO.
For those who don't understand why the sensitivity of steeelheading.
A background shot will let the seasoned and/or lazy steelheaders get an idea what river or creek has good colour and/or a fresh run while others are still too high or dirty to fish etc..for one example. Yes, a simple laydown, tree or bend in the river will give away location.
and it really isnt rocket science.... a pulse can get fish if basic techniques are followed.
I think the ability to read the water and knowledge of how fish relate to varying conditions is what sets steelheaders apart. Therefore posting pics with locations just opens doors for your hard work to be "taken advantage" of.
That being said... to each their own, post away, there are no secret spots... just don't show any of my water ok.. hahah... All cookie cutters anyway.. no point!
