Sorry about coming in so late on this but I've been out of town for a few days.
One thing not mentioned and an opinion I hold is that when people are JUST told of a spot without visiting it, they often don't develop any discrimination for particular vulnerabilities it might have. This can lead to indiscriminate broadcast of a location on their part down the road as well as a perpetual increase in the hype of how good the fishing might be (since they haven't really been there to confirm the verbal information they got in the first place). In short we tend to care less about places, things and people we have no personal connection with. This is why I sometimes take the stance with places I think are extra fragile to tell folks "I'll take you there but I won't just tell you about it;" and all I would ask is they take the same stance. I might add that (so far) people agree with the policy once they have experienced the location. Have fun Paul
