That was probably the most important thing I learned the frist time I fished with a guide on the White River. How to mend. It is ssooo very important to getting a decent drift in the vicinity of the fish you are trying to catch or hole you are trying to fish. What I thought was mending was not even close. I was told, "If you are going to mend the line...MEND IT!!". When I got onto it things started coming together.

These are the idle thoughts that posses a man's mind when he's not able to fish.
