BR....I think we are in the same boat after all :)

Still, sometimes a report with NO info can still be a good read.

That is a sure way to loose readership if a site is jammed with bragging reports w/o any mentioning of even the river or any specifics, compared to another site whose contributors are providing lots of useful information.  Frankly, if a report thread has 1 or 2 bragging ones, it is still ok, but excessive postings without specifics are a waste of time for many readers who log into a site looking for latest updates on specific rivers.  Who cares?  We all know, of all the rivers around L.M., there are steelies being hooked everyday, so why bother to report that if even the river name is withheld, unless this is a seldom visited small system. But if the fishing report section is flooded with no-name systems, there must be something drastically wrong in the steelies - they are flooding into the small systems and few show up in the larger ones  ??? ;D

I do not think locations makes a difference as they are always on the run. When you start noticing people reporting catches, start going. The odds gets a lot higher and remember...keep walking and fish close in before drifting your presentations outside.

Steelhead tend to be lazy and likes to cling close to shore.

What lure or bait used doesn't really make a difference either as they will take anything put in front of them. Now- if you can get SANDSHRIMP, that would change the odds a bit too.
