Tiger Time!

[Big Sky]

I really like that lake in the pics from the original poster. But, truthfully, it is often drained and is drawn down low almost every year. Those tigers, the splake, and a few cutts will back in those waters as soon as next summer.

What cracks me up about fishermen and posts like original one is the fear of "hotspotting" and ruining a good fishery by posting specifics. If you really don't want people to know where you are at, don't post pics. Is it really that hard? And, you are hardly going to ruin good fishing by posting about reservoirs the size of the one in the pics or others that are of similar size or larger.

And, FWIW, I was dened clear back in June knowing that this lake would be drained...last fall, that reservoir was a real hoot to fish. Oh well, it will be back...

Ummm perhaps you need to read a little more carefully. I said: "Anymore I really hesitate to post any pics on any Utah related site. It seems like that every time I do some jack-wagon has jump on and tell everyone where I was at. These aren't even close to the biggest tigers I caught this summer, but these are all from a reservoir that no longer exists, due to the drought, so I really don't care if any can identify it or not."

In other words yes I do worry about places being hot spotted hence there are no pictures posted from the areas where I caught much bigger fish. So kind'a redundant for you to say "don't post pics" as that is exactly what I did. No pics posted of anywhere that matters.

Anything else is pretty much limited to photos like this one below. I had a very good year with a lot of tigers, rainbows, and even a few Colorado Cutthroat over 20", but I'm sure not going to risk putting them on a site like this or some of those obnoxious pages on Facebook like Utah Anglers Report. Hot spotting is a real thing in Utah and worse than in other places I have lived. Seems like very few people actually want to get out and do the work to find quality fish, but rather just read where to go on the internet, than actually put forth any real effort.
