Tuna,
Maybe back in 1970 it wasn't that way. However, as already mentioned it's 2011 and we use the internet. Everyone at this point in time knows what goes on at the spillway. It's even in the newspaper. You may want to write them a letter so they know to stop giving away all those secrets that only you and a few have.
As far as ice fishing goes it's a 125 mile drive to pymatuning for me and I do it quite frequently. Being around other fisherman doesn't bother me at all. I guess it's a personal preference.
