I guess I came across as complaining, which I see after reading my posts. I didn't really mean to complain. Just hard to believe that such a nice and sunny day didn't start the little stones and a feeding frenzy, cold water or not.

Yes I do appreciate and love them, that's why I took the picture and shared. I feel blessed that I can live somewhere like I do and enjoy the fishing a lot. Not 1 weight country for me, but 00 weight bamboo country. Those rare six inches really put a bend in it.

Fishing with bait is like swearing in church.
