Like Pyramid, Henry's Chesterfield, Daniels, even the Green, just to name a few I have visited. I have seen big time changes to these waters due to .....well, TALK. [/quote]
Flygoddes -- no real argument with you and your comments. I would like to make one point concerning the examples you gave: Good fishing.
good fishing ALWAYS comes at a price. That price is increased popularity. You cannot place full blame of increased popularity, or pressure, on the WWW. You MUST consider that GOOD fishing is a HUGE part of the reason that these fisheries see an increase in pressure.
Back the Boulder Mountains: consider, prior to the sport fish improvement project (which included renovation of some brook trout lakes), were we having this same discussion concerning lakes like the Willow Bottoms? No. In fact, most people had never heard of them, nor cared to ever fish them. However, since the change these lakes have experienced a tremendous increase in popularity. Why? No, not because of the internet. The reason is because of the fish. The marked improvement of the fishery is the reason more people flock to these places. That's not a bad thing!
