It is just fishing....it isn't a competition, why not share this info?
I just thought people could come and share their stories, not necessarily pinpoint the locations they go fishing and catch the big ones.

The first rule of Hot-Spots, is don't talk about Hot-Spots.
Fishing is absolutely a competition. There are a limited number of fish, days on the water, good hatches etc.
Unfortunately, when some hot-spots get widely divulged, they get hammered and never really recover.
Not everyone practices catch and release, and too many are outright poachers.
The good way to do this is share info privately with people you trust not to tell everyone. If you take another angler to a good spot, they will take you to one of theirs. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
Some of these holes took a lot of work and research to find, and no one is going to just give away that information.
I think the most fun thing is exploring and finding your own spots. There are countless little streams and lakes on the Eastern Slopes. Usually, the further you go from an access point, the better the fishing will be.
Slava and I found our way to this last summer:
