Hey grampa ron, I just dont' get it. I don't post often but look at the site daily and just don't get it. You submit a post about a friend catching salmon on the slaw with a fly but you want to keep the fly pattern a secret. What's the motivation for the post? Why do fisher-people love to talk about all the fish they catch but don't want anyone else to catch fish?
Just think about it for a moment why would anyone want to read a post that basically says "look how smart I am and dumb you are" "I know how to catch fish and you don't". Who wants to visit that post?
This post is not unique. I meet fisher-people all the time who want me to listen to their endless stories about catching fish but refuse to share where or how they caught them.
I like this forum and have learned how to improve my fishing exponentially from it. I thank all of you who have shared your stories, techniques, locations and gear, so before many of you respond just take a breath, count to ten and think about it.
