This river is a mystery to most except to those who have put in their time. What happened to the rules of naming a river let alone getting into details of locations?
- Naming Rivers: The naming of any specific river or tributary is not permitted in the publicly viewable general discussion forum. Instead, please refer to the river by the general area it is located, ie “East Trib”, “West Trib”, “GB (Georgian Bay) Trib”, etc. For example, you are not allowed to say "I had a great day fishing yesterday on Wilmot Creek", instead, we encourage members to say "I had a great day fishing yesterday on an East Trib". The former statement should be relegated to the reports sections (coming soon), away from public view.
I'm not stating this to offend anyone, but this thread is growing and no one has asked why it's allowed. If it was Nine Mile or the Big Head I'm sure the flags would be raised. The rules are there for a reason. . . and yes I'm sensitive to this fishery as I am a local.
The post was started in 2008, it just keeps getting bumped. The forum rules have changed, since then. I'm sure that there are other old posts that name, names too.
I hear you though, jrocksthehip. I used to have a spot for Specks on the head-waters of a western trib. A few years ago I started to notice that there were always people there when before there had been none. I found out why. Some shittehead had made a video and posted it on youtube giving the name of the stream and exact directions to the spot. Fishing declined so much and the fish got smaller and smaller, that I haven't even gone there for 2 years now.
I'm glad the current rules are now in place, too bad youtube doesn't have them also.
PMing is the way to go that way you can give locations to people you trust. Since becoming a member of this forum I have shared some locations with others and in return have been given some very good locations to fish. That being said, I do not give out my Speck spots even on PM. You have to come to my house and pick me up and then be blindfolded until we arrive at the stream
