Dxh Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Hmm guess I wont be posting anymore pics here on this site. Didn't realise fishing for trout was such a big secret. Can delete admin. Quote
BurningChrome Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Gotta learn how to better utilize the underwater feature Change your drive mode on the camera to "burst" or "continuous" then hold the button down and move the camera a little when it's underwater. Out of 20 frames you'll probably get at least a couple keepers. Spray and pray. 2 Quote
ÜberFly Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 I know where everyone's going this weekend!! Quote
ÜberFly Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 I originally thought that as well, but I don't think this area is within the ban... no fire ban? Quote
ericlin0122 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 I originally thought that as well, but I don't think this area is within the ban... ty good to know. Quote
Dxh Posted August 2, 2017 Author Posted August 2, 2017 no fire ban? These were taken before the ban was put in place for the area. Quote
reevesr1 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Hey dxh, don't sweat it. I didn't see the post but can imagine. Let the garbage just roll off. One of my favorite quotes I've ever heard was from a fly shop owner who said "I love fly fishing but don't really like fly fisherman." 2 Quote
BurningChrome Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I'm confused. Did someone post a comment then delete it? I saw all the pics and unless you already knew the area well, there wasn't anything I'd consider hotspotting. It wasn't like there was a pic of someone holding a big fish with a landmark like the 22x bridge clearly in the background or something like that. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 The original poster must have removed the pictures for some reason. A shame as I enjoy seeing trip pix. Quote

It wasn't like there was a pic of someone holding a big fish with a landmark like the 22x bridge clearly in the background or something like that. Or someone got their panties in a wad and messaged him. Probably one of those top secret stretches of the Oldman, or Liv or something. Quote
Komp Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Brutal......no wonder no one posts pics. If it isn't a picture of google earth with directions to the exact location people should relax. Folks either know about the spot or they don't regardless of photos posted on this site. 2 Quote
TroutPanther Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Exactly. The original post looked pretty non-Hot spotting to me. Don't sweat it Dhx. 3 Quote
Dxh Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 Apologies for the short tempered edit of my original post. It was not any comment on the thread that led to the edit, it was a few PM's from some gentlemen that are old enough that they should know how to better approach a situation without involving threats and name calling. I did not blur the background, however I did not hotspot any of this "secret" stretch of river. As far as I'm concerned if you are able to tell where I was from the trees in the background, then you have put in your time and deserve to know. There were no GPS coordinates, type of fly or time of day included in the post. I simply stated I loved cutty fishing in AB. When I return to town at the end of the week I will repost the pics for those who will enjoy and not ridicule. Again, apologies for my short temper and instant deletion. Is not the first time I've been called out for hot spotting because I didn't blur out some trees. 7 Quote

Bah, anyone who can tell where you were by the background already knows the spot(s) well enough. Nobody is going to drive down the FTR looking for that particular spot - if it can even be seen from the road. Quote
Swede Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Must not be very good fly fishermen if there worried about a little competition on a cutty stream. I don't get it there's people everywhere you go now days and I can still kick ass following a group up a cutty stream. 2 Quote
