Abstract
Every fisherman has a place he holds dear. Whether it be a mountain creek small enough to hop across or a reef in the Gulf of Mexico, we all have a place where “the big one” defeated us. Conversely, we all have a spot in which we emerged victorious, spurring feelings of elation. We all have memories so compelling that we feel the need to share our stories around the dinner table and remind friends how much they missed out on that day. Ingrained in my memory is the flash of a twenty-inch brown trout sipping a fly from the surface of the Fraser River, jumping out of the water, and snapping my line. I can recall almost every detail of the experience: the strength of the current, the speckled moss on the pesky rock the fish used for cover, and the size sixteen elk hair caddis fly that I lost in the process. For reference, I saved the GPS coordinates so I can revisit the exact spot to flip the script. GPS coordinates provide a quick and easy means to return to a favorite place or to explore somewhere new without undue wandering. Timothy Smith understood the value of this technical knowledge, as indicated by his efforts to steal coordinates generated by others.
