A while ago someone had posted how dead this site is now which is too bad as it used be very busy with lots of info. Now its almost dead, seems like most of the posters have moved on except for the one "know it all". I know I haven't participated much the past few years but age and time have caught up to me and there isn't much time left so time to get the fly rod out and have one shot at the approaching pink season up here on the Sunshine Coast.

I mean I understand why. In steelhead season nobody says a word as they keep their secrets to themselves, understandably so. Nobody wants to post about their reports because a week later there will be tons of people at that lake/river or whatever. There is too many information freeloaders, and almost every topic has been debated to death. There is not really much new stuff going on. Fishing seasons repeat yearly in a similar fashion. Sometimes an event like the Chilcotin slide will happen which is worth discussing. Other than events like that. Any other discussions end up debating politics and nothing ever gets done there. Or some new user will pose a question already answered in a past thread but are too lazy to search through. That's my view.

I've found that most people on here (and in Canada in general) seem to be gatekeepers when it comes to specific knowledge/spots/etc.

That scares/pisses off all the new ones. All that's left are mostly the old guys who don't need tips - hence the low activity and degeneration into politics.

The fishing forums have had their day. They are dead. People have moved on to the social media fishing pages.
