Someone pmed me and their inbox was full. So I'll just post here.
I totally get what he was saying. When I posted that the area I fish is very big and there were only 2 guys fishing the opposite bank and about 5-8 guys fishing my side at any given time. I was alone by myself fishing the tail out everyone else was using a different method of fishing spoons , fly ect. I was the only one short floating roe.
What milo is saying makes sense because on that Wednesday there were 14 guys on the opposite side and 20+ on my side. Sure it may be a holiday but I bet my report caused many fisherman to give the Vedder one last shot for the season. Wednesday was a gong show and I only hooked 2 cohos.
Don't kid yourself if you think the vague reports you've put up was the reason why Wednesday was so crowded at that spot. It's no secret among locals who fish regularly that backwater had been holding lots of coho for a few weeks now. I can count at least a dozen people who have been fishing it and I don't even have many friends... It shouldn't be a surprised that words had travelled and it was going to be crowded on a public holiday just before the big forecasted rainstorm was about to hit.
I've posted my reports all season with pics and have still been able to fish alone on just about most days. This is partly because the spots I've fished are not as productive, but I'll take catching a couple per day by myself than catching a few more in a more crowded spot any day. Keep the reports vague, show some nice photos without backgrounds, it keeps the thread entertaining, motivates people to find biting fish and fish properly, and still be able to enjoy quality fishing.
The paranoia hasn't changed in 15 years since this forum began.
