From your posts it sounds like no water should be shielded from pressure at all? Is that correct?[/quote]
Regulations can, and are, used to protect waters that need protection. I'm not sure exactly what some of you would define as "pressure", but I'm assuming that it would equate to "harvest". If harvest is an issue, then reduced limits should be enforced to protect, or "shield" these waters. Limiting information regarding these waters is NOT the solution. Education would certainly be another strategy to help protect, or "shield" these waters.

If that is the case why don't you tell us all your three favorite small fishing waters, what you caught, how you caught them at the exact days and time of day you caught them? [/quote]
Well, since you asked:
1. EF Sevier River. Rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout. Typically use buggers and nymps. Fish caught year-round, time of day not specific.
2. WF Deer Creek. Cutthroat trout. Hoppers. mid-late summer. middle of the day when taking a break from hunting.
3. Minersville Reservoir. Rainbow, cutthroat trout. Buggers. April - October. morning, before the wind blows.
[quote Jacksonman]My point is simple. Great small fishing holes should be earned. Nit given away. [/quote]
Nobody said otherwise. Just because a suggestion is made doesn't mean that the person is not going to earn something. That person still must go to the lake, and make the effort. Just because I tell you where to go, what to use, what time of day to fish, and how to hold your mouth DOES NOT MEAN YOU'LL CATCH FISH. You are correct, you still have to do the work. no argument from me here.

And let me guess, you don't like me using the word earn so you will write a whole post on that too?![/quote]
Merriam-webster defines earn as: to receive as return for effort and especially for work done or services rendered.
If a person looks at a map and finds a lake, makes an inquiry concerning that lake, get's a response with some information, uses that information to go to that lake, and then catches a fish -- would that not fit the definition provided above with respect to "earn"? I certainly think so.
If you don't like giving out information, then don't. But don't ask me to keep my knowledge to myself. I enjoy helping others have successful experiences at places I love. I feel great when i get those emails after the trip saying "hey, we had a great trip! Thanks for the info..".
