There have been several times when the "bite" is slow that I will tell Joe that I know what I have to do to get a strike and I put the fly rod under my arm, get out my pipe and tobacco and before I can get the pipe loaded, I will have a strike and "fish on"!
This is similar to my method for attracting deer while hunting, if I start to... erm... relieve myself, a big ol' buck will appear outta nowhere
