Depends on the type of fishing!
Big water lakes and big rivers can sustain pretty heavy fishing pressure and sharing information really doesn't hurt them very quickly. Small streams and small ponds are a different story. Tell the wrong person and the fishery will be ruined very quickly. I always share with friends and trusted people but I would really draw the line at posting small stream or small pond information. I had a favorite bass pond ruined in an afternoon by four teenagers who didn't know any better. I don't know how they found the pond but I arrived in time to find them loading a full, large trash can of LMB into their car. When i explained the damage they had done to the pond, they actually offered to put some fish back in the water but it was too late. None of the returnees survived. The pond is now one solid mass of stunted sunfish. I would urge caution in posting information on easily damaged water. Just my opinion and well worth what you paid for it. 8T :)

Spinner, I think that's an alright approach. It's well known that the whole SW part of the state is fishable and it only takes someone looking at a map and driving to one of those streams to unintentionally fish in someone's favorite fishing hole. If somebody wants to debate you on this, they should be willing to take that fight to Rand McNally and DeLorme as well.
Willie i agree with you.
100 best streams by Trout Unlimited
100 best.....
dang.....
they are doing some serious Kiss & Telling.
The guides should be up in arms and calling
for their censorship?
There are no secret streams.....
avoiding naming streams is ludicrous
Get past this foolishness and your fishing experience will go much better.
