I'm a capitalist, so I have no problem with enterprising fishing guides selling valuable service and knowledge. I do have a problem with criticizing others for freely using that knowledge once it has been acquired.

Potlicking (stopping to fish a spot you would not otherwise fish) is rude. Getting up early and getting on a good fishing spot that you learned about is neither rude nor wrong, it's just an application of the early bird gets the worm philosophy.

I have favorite fishing spots, but they aren't really "my" spots in any sense that I can claim ownership, originality, or dibbs. They are just spots I like to fish. I can honestly say that I'm not the least disappointed when I find someone else fishing them, just glad to see others catching fish.
