Didnt on another post, someone say you came down a back channel on them? The 'old school etiquette' would dictate that you never float back channels, and to work them from the bottom (or park on the outside and walk back in), such that you never come down a channel into someone. As many guys there are on the oars, there is an equivalent amount of etiquette rules. Not everyone is going to follow your version of it, so why get bothered? Though, stronger education would be nice. Maybe signs at a boat launch or something

No. No contention, just giving an example. BBT, read whataniceguy's post. Pretty well how i feel

Spot given: This took me 2 seconds to find, and is about as specific as you can get without drawing a map. I'm not going to go through you 3500 posts to find any other ones Why can't we live vicariously through photos, without mention of river names?

Wow, a post with fish pictures, yet no mentioning of where you were... thanks for the good post

Why do people feel like they have to say where they were fishing? Say you fished the Bow, what do you get out of telling the forum you fished the Bow, or Oldman? Why not just say "got out for a little fishing, heres some photos". Mentioning any rivers is not required, and if people were interested they could private message you and get a response. Why does it matter at all where you were fishing that day, the only one it should concern is yourself!

I agree with Grinr. Show pictures, or whatever. But indicating where, what and anything else is not required, and not doing any benefit for yourself or the fishery. If someone recognizes the spots, its because they've already been there before. Want to know the conditions of a river of interest? Post but ask for replies in PMs. Need help with bugs? Buy a BOOK...Theres 3500 members on this forum, plus guests. That's a lot of hotspotting that can occur. Spend a minute on the 'fishing report' area, and you'll likely feel depressed. The handholding is insane. I'm sure that there has been at least 1 moment for every member on this forum that they thought 'oh no, don't mention that spot'. So why not eliminate it entirely? time to kill the 'fishing report' area.

Full disclosure, tightline is the guy that made the map. If you couldn't tell

Or just wander to the river like the ol' days and figure it out yourself, there is endless water and endless fish. Fish below 17th ave and above carseland, and you'll find fish.

So they upgraded you to a new rod years after your rod was discontinued, yet you're annoyed with them? Holy ****. What is this world coming to

Sounds a lot like the guys that say that the fish don't want to eat dries, when they're nymphing all day. Hard to say that fish aren't into something unless your doing it every day. Indicators and eggs will always outfish a swung fly if everything else was equal. Fish are designed to kill eggs that they see. Fishing an indi would never give the best part of steel fishing, the fish that hits the fly at Mach 10 and just keeps going, and is gone before you've figured out what happened

If you're worried about dropping one on the rocks, you're not handling steelhead correctly..leave them in the water, hold them over the water if you need a photo..

My thoughts are you aren't all that worried for this fishery, by telling 'Peter Powerbait', or "Joe FFC" that it's close to opening

So you want to kill all the otters that are killing the brown trout, yet you don't want to protect their spawning gravel from being stepped on by the ever increasing number of anglers? Who would not want to protect the future of the rivers? Close the Bow from 22x or Burnsmead Bridge upstream in the winter...let the fish have a break! Open it back up in April

You can't go upstream of the bridge. Take down the registration number off the bow of the boat, take a photo if possible with background in view, and call the city police (not RAPP). The guy in the jet will have a nice visit from the cops. Be good to keep them on their toes. Lots of water for jets below carseland with virtually no one, not sure why they need to be on police to Mac every day, with the drifters and Pontoons.
