Knowing how to fish is more important then knowing someones honey hole, I bow hunted for 30 years, sharping those Bear broadhead, and finding good deer runs before the kill, was 10x more fun, lol after the kill the work starts, <br />Good FishingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344014272271067403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-38393572417856979412014-04-26T18:15:29.525-04:002014-04-26T18:15:29.525-04:00What you quote from Chris is somewhere on my site ...What you quote from Chris is somewhere on my site or my forum or my guiding service page. I can no longer remember. The same attitude for the Fox River and the creeks that feed it and I tried to get like minded individuals interested for 15 years. <br /><br />Then I ran into the attitude of the average bass angler, chasin' hawgs and bigguns. They really don't care about conservation issues at all and were actually an impediment to trying to make improvements to the river system.<br /><br />Now I keep details more to myself, at least publicly. <br /><br />The bass world will never have the trout world mentality of doing what you can to preserve and protect the waters where the fish live that you pursue. I personally find that sad.<br /><br />The plan at one time was to do a book like that only for the pursuit of smallies on some of the most beautiful rivers and creeks you'll ever want to see in northern Illinois. Now, not so sure I want to do that.<br /><br />But, if asked privately, be prepared for an encyclopedia of information on where to go. Like minded individuals are out there somewhere, maybe if I show one person these places I've been and go to, maybe they'll step up with the stamina needed to make a difference. I think I'll just keep documenting them, hopefully if I ever do a book I won't have to name it "See what you Missed!"Ken Ghttp://www.waterdogjournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-85885048053400307012014-04-22T05:40:05.469-04:002014-04-22T05:40:05.469-04:00Great stuff Mike, When I used to live in Lake Taho...Great stuff Mike, When I used to live in Lake Tahoe, Had a few good friends that used to fish up in the panhandle area, Cuts an Steelhead were their game, The past year Ive been contacting folks and researching ID, for a trip soon, BUT bother we got some good fishen right here at home, What a year its been for the White shad, and now in the Roanoke, The Stripa's are on fire, but my honey spot this spring has been wading the Tar, LOL shhhhhhhhhh welcome to join in anytime ole buddy, Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344014272271067403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-50498051159988326712014-04-18T08:22:40.045-04:002014-04-18T08:22:40.045-04:00Blushing!?

Without reading his book, I can attest to everything here that you have written about what Idaho has to offer and the "Secrets" she holds. I am sure I would love reading this book.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787242134608887555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-43564190800679438832014-04-17T16:17:03.270-04:002014-04-17T16:17:03.270-04:00I can't wait to get my hands on Chris' boo...I can't wait to get my hands on Chris' book.
