Around here, the best freshwater fishing is mostly on public land. Since the anglers can't sell permits, they keep the choice places to themselves. (A handful also work as wilderness guides. :) ) Around here the fishermen have names for some of the pools too, such as Bear Hole https://www.flickr.com/photos/ke9tv/14799397098, Devil's Kitchen https://www.flickr.com/photos/ke9tv/7082920415, Rat Hole https://youtu.be/2rCKgEum2FQ?t=39 and Fawn's Leap https://youtu.be/2rCKgEum2FQ?t=77 (Oh, yeah, did I mention that the cliff divers have names for them, too?) -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin
