This watershed is one of the places where I've employed the policy of "I will 
take you there but I won't tell you about it just in passing, and then I will 
ask you to follow the same policy". The people that I've shown it to all felt 
that this was the best policy as well; once they spent a day there. People 
who haven't checked it out in person don't have much of an appreciation for 
the situation and often pass on information quite freely without regard to 
impact because they don't really know what they are talking about. It's small 
water with no protective regulations. I think it was inappropriate to discuss 
any details of this fishery in a public forum (searchable Internet database) 
like this. Would you announce such info in a crowded auditorium? I hope that 
in the future when someone asks about a fragile unprotected fishery they will 
get a response via private email instead of a forum that is subject to public 
search engines.

Have fun
Paul
