GW,
If I'm following your logic.... a stream report that claims to have encountered an "EPIC Hendrickson hatch and killer day of fishing" should result in a group of spinning rod poachers lingering aroud that stream the following day.
If I were to post "it was a nice day with some insects hatching", the poachers wouldn't show up, right?
So, I should be able to say "no hatches noted, water conditions were off color, took 4 fish between 22 & 26" in Fox's Meadow on a Olive Sculpin. Will poachers show or not? I didn't note any great hatches which always attract spin fishers nor did I say I had a great day of fishing. I just reported the facts. BTW, if you don't think poachers know where the big fish are, you're wrong. I'm guessing they catch more big ones in a year than most of us do in a lifetime. They're just scumbags for stealing fish / breaking the law.
