Well, let me revise my comment then. Thanks, Dave, for propagating the b.s. that FishErie.com spews. After a recent trip, I know first hand that the FishErie site is a crock of ####. I posted truthful reports about the fishing that were promptly removed by the moderators -- and then received PMs from others who had the same thing happen to them. So careful where you pull your propaganda materials from.
Regardless of who originally posted the video, it and anyone using it to over-hype the fishing on 20 mile is doing nothing positive for fishermen or the fishery. 20 mile had literal elbow-to-elbow pressure all week this past week -- more fishermen than fish.
Maps don't hype a stream or draw a crowd. Little paragraph descriptions from the state about access points don't do that. Guys posting videos and photos about how somewhere is the "greatest" fishing does do that. It's a magnet, regardless of what anyone says. If you want me to prove it, tell me what your favorite quiet place is to fish. I'll show you how quickly an internet report, video, etc. will increase its crowds. And no, I'm not irritated because I love 20 mile. I only fish it a few times per year. But it really sucks when someone does this and instantly turns a stream into the likes of lower Walnut and other streams.
Nowhere along steelhead alley is a secret. That isn't the point. But hyping up a small trib is doing no justice for the fishing or the fishermen.

For what purpose? They already have loads of trout in Class A streams leave them alone and work on habitat.

The flies posted look great. As my tying skills improve, I look forward to hopping in on such a venture. It's a great way to accumulate more flies. We all need more flies, right? :-D
