Buddy and I went for a nice easy run and dragged our ice fishing gear along. Fished for about 2 hours at some unknown lake. Didn't have a clue that it was full of nice size brook trout. We both left with limits. Buddy landed a 3.5lber and the smallest was 14" Here is a picture of our adventure.

I wouldn't say it ruins fishing spots but I do think it makes anglers lazy , instead of jumping in your vehicle and checking things out they just go to the net , even when it comes to smelts you see questions on here all the time. Drive down to the river and see for yourself same with steelhead. Before the net we got in the truck packed our gear and went to whitefish lac or where ever . Although the net is a great learning tool on tackle & tactics again get out and figure it out on your own.
