I'm on the +1 for posting location, posting pix, if someone makes a post with photos and doesn't say where - it's fair game in MY book for anyone else to guess or reveal.
If you want to keep it secret - then do it.
But not by posting on a PUBLIC FORUM when you're talking about PUBLIC WATERS - as pointed out - if you've paid your dues, you've paid for access to them thar fish.
Fact of the matter is population is growing. The DWR works hard to encourage more fishing and use of recreational waters and parks. The provide all kinds of info about numerous locations, including [url "http://wildlife.utah.gov/hotspots/detailed.php?id=1166050341"]Birch Creek[/url] (damn - he said it!) I fail to understand the mentality behind encouraging youth to get into fishing, but at the same time trying to keep a lid on it all.
If you want LESS fishermen, maybe we need a program like DARE - but for fishing. Instead of DARE to stay of drugs, DARE to stay off the water. I can see the T-shirts now. Maybe we need a DARE to pick up after yourselves!
Maybe if you crop or photoshop your photos so they don't reveal telling signs of a location. Kinda like putting up a photo of your girlfriend in a bikini, and painting over her chest. So why choose that photo to post? Sorry - just silly in my book (maybe a little disappointing too [:p]).
Clearly one of those arguments that won't ever be settled, just like C&R vs C&F&C&E (*catch, fillet, cook, eat).
Don't know that I'll ever make it over to BC, but glad to know it's there, encouraged to know someone is out catching fish. Thanks for the REPORT.
