Ok, I'm going to have to disagree with you a little bit on this one. There are a lot of people who don't get a chance to go fishing more than a couple of times a month or are new to the sport. For those people asking where a good spot is could mean the difference between a great trip that encourages them to go more and grow the sport of fishing and a trip that leaves them feeling unsatisfied. As well, what is really the difference between the good old 'asking the guys at "The Fishin' Hole"' where the fish are biting and asking on a forum? And what percentage of people ice fishing on lake X really heard about it on the Alberta Outdoorsmen Forum? I'm guessing it's not that high. My completely speculative opinion is that most people hear about new spots from friends and acquaintances, not online forums.
