OK. this is a google group, a public social networking site. I have not violated any policies and members are encouraged and enabled (by google) to communicate with each other in private. They asked for directions and you have a problem with that. Are you just pissed off because you can't voyeur everything or what? It's a social networking site. That's what happens.
Are we going to start censoring posts now?

--Miles, you are absolutely correct! If members have "secret" fishing sites, keep them that way and don't refer to them on this site. Otherwise this is a site for members, which means all is shared. If you don't want to share, don't talk about it! I understand what "dubble haul" is saying and he is a long time member and supporter, but we are all entitled to be wrong. And this is your time "dubble haul". Now go back to your secret site, catch lots of fish and don't post about it. But keep up your good work. Thanks, Al

I apologize, English is my second language, I had too look up secret in the dictionary.
Secret:
1. Something kept hidden from others or known only to oneself or to a few.

I am one of the original members posting under a different screen name. I've shared ALL my sites, just not this one. Yes. Other members have fished there and I am committed to sharing with MEMBERS , just not the entire world, and this IS a google forum - not this one. Ironically, I've shared this site with you and every member I can at the events BECAUSE TPFR members are responsible and respectful and in my own way I am trying to contribute. I respect you John, you taught be to cast with a two-handed rod and helped me immensely with tackle selection. You are one of most generous anglers I've ever met. There is a long tradition of protecting your fishing spots, so I don't think it's that big of deal.
The spirit of this board can be preserved without requiring full disclosure of every anglers favorite sites to the world. I have gifted fishing gear to young anglers on this site, provided several tips and so on, promoted the forum and club and have contributed financially to the organization. I'm entitled to a few relative "secrets".
Respectfully,
Dubble Haul

I'm going to 'not cool' this post -- not in anger, not to flame or troll, just to say that I don't think it's in the spirit of the board. On the one hand, as far as I know, everybody here is committed to preserving every spot we fish, to the extent possible. Conservation is a big part of the flyfishing ethos, and a goal we're committed to as an FFF charter club.
On the other hand, the spot you're talking about has probably already been mentioned here before. The best thing about this board is that most folks are so generous with their knowledge -- if I had a year of Mondays (my day off), I probably couldn't fish all the 'secret spots' people have posted here. And if I happen to fish your spot -- which I don't know where it is -- and it ends up being awesome, I would definitely tell the board about it.
best,
