youngen, you have not lived long enough to see the pre-internet fishing, then the rise of the internet, then the complete disaster on local and island rivers from the rise of flossing. Through these years stocks have continously being in states of near collapse and seen closure after closure to try to rebuild threatened runs. So if you see protectionist thoughts in the RIVER/FRESHWATER forums, you wouldnt understand why people try to keep holes/spots secret due to the lurking internet types that see trends and react to them. There are certain origin of fisherman out there from a certain region of the world who have made flossing rivers a deadly technique and if you do a little research on you tube on the stamp, it may begin to sink in. Also, the best fisherman in this world dont BRAG and keep there zippers shut and only tell best of friends in private, not over the internet. Ocean fishing is wayyyy different so reports can only help to a certain point, fish are not holed up and visible in 4 feet of river water
