The picture on the homepage got me thinking about the numberof times I have been chased out of streams by cattle. The most common event is when a few dozen BlackAngus come wondering down to one of our spring creeks and turn the clear waterinto flowing mud. It usually pretty muchstops the trout from feeding. The eventsthat are scarier (although less environmentally damaging) are when one ofthose bulls decides that you really should not be so close to his ladyfriends. A couple of years ago I came upout of a creek to discover two bulls facing each other across a barbwirefence. They were both pawing up the groundand huffing and snorting at each other. I decided to leave them to their personal differences and quietly backout without being noticed. I was raisedon a dairy farm so cows are not an issue but my father and uncles all carriedscars from interacting with the bulls. I generally try to avoid them.

How do you handle your meetings cattle when fishing?
