I've seen some posts lately about spot burning and frankly I don't know what some guys are thinking. The majority of anglers don't fish for wild trout, most won't go near a remote stream in the summer if they've ever seen what they look like when there's been no rain.
I fish all over the place and seldom run into another angler. Even early in the season I don't see many anglers, the lone exception is opening weekend.
So where is the spot burning? The PAradise? LL? Fishing Creek? I don't think so. On limestone streams surveys show there is very little mortality no matter how much pressure there is on brown trout. With brookies it's only slightly higher.
On freestone streams it's higher but the most threatened streams are the streams that suffer during droughts and floods. Far more fish succumb to natural events than fishing. Get over it, spot burnign is next to non-existent.
