Last comment from me on this one. Did you ever see me complain about giving info to those who have put in the work?? Nope. I said to respond in pm form so the hundreds if not thousands of lurkers who put in no work won't just be handed gems on a silver platter. Too hard to understand?
I have respindex with detailed info to every pm I get. I also love helping others get into great fishing. I don't like going back to a favorite out of he way fishing hole that was hard to find and then find beer cans everywhere and poor fishing.
Regulations are always behind current needs. You know that. But dwr can't regulate public forms. Regulating harvest insnt always the answer especially on small waters. I am more concerned with angler hours on any particular small water. With angler hours comes loss of serenity, high morality of fish, even if released, and bigger fish get spooked and get much harder to target. There is a reason community ponds don't grow big fish, even if there was a catch and release only policy.
I like how your three small water spots were all well known large systems that are rather technical to fish. To be more accurate why dont you give the exact gps location of your favoritr spots on these favorite waters with pictures of the big fish you caught there? In essence that is what is being done when discussing the small alpine lakes on these mountains. These are 1 or 2 or 5 acre ponds that can only be fished for 5 months with a lot of hungry fish who are not picky most of the time.
Is it really too much to ask to not share details about specific small waters or certain locations on a public forum that can be accessed by any Joe blow fisherman? I hope you share info with those who have put in the time and effort and who are ethical fishermen. But why do it in a way that reveals the same info to all?
