Seems like some lakes get named in Trip Reports whilst others are merely hinted at...
What's the standard PNWFF community guidelines on naming the lake?

I like this way of thinking about it.When pondering this, I sometimes ask myself, Is it needed for the narrative? Does it add something important to the story that can't otherwise be described? And then I think about if it's already a highly pressured spot and/or "artificial" fishery and factor that in.
In a larger sense, very much this. What I love about trip reports is hearing/seeing the experience that someone had.The name of the lake isn’t the interesting part. Relating an experience is fun to share and makes for good reading.
Keeping with that theme, these sandhill cranes flew nearby overhead today and landed in the meadow. Fishing was okay but this was the highlight of the morning. They are calling this evening, probably to announce their departure.In a larger sense, very much this. What I love about trip reports is hearing/seeing the experience that someone had.
I've got a GPS tracker on your Jeep.I think it's more a stigma then actually matters. My own thoughts are that big lakes are almost always under utilized by fly fisherman so I'll often post the name because it doesn't matter. Small stuff I don't. I've had incredible lakes posted online by fishing guides, WDFW reports and so on and hardly noticed an uptick in crowds.

I was wondering who's that was when I placed mine there...I've got a GPS tracker on your Jeep.
Agreed… even though they’ve been lots of times where I’m dying to figure out where someone was fishing, I don’t want them divulging it to the world.I enjoy the mystery of a good report without the specific spot being named. That applies to rivers, beaches or lakes regardless of how popular they are.
