I have a tip for all newbies, and new persons to this board.
Before asking for advice on what's hot and what's not, READ the posts from the last few weeks.
You'll get a much better understanding than by asking for a freebie as it were. This is a very friendly board and I along with most others on the board are happy to share - but do so most through posting reports and answering specific questions about YOUR experiences on the creek.
If this seems like a mean post, it's only cuz I just read Wyatt Erp's post about bait fishermen throwing half-dead trout back into the water to keep a bigger one they just caught. That's just despicable behavior and it really makes me mad.
JL - I agree the bait fisherman seem to be a real pain, and by all mean have questionable ethics... its too bad too because I dont think all bait fisherman are jerks or inconsiderate...
