Besides the usual things involving knots, trees, and knots in trees, I was at valley creek fishing a hole crouched kneeling on the bank, when a woman with two dogs walks up and sends her dogs into the hole directly across from me. And then, this is the best part, she says, "Are you fishing?". She said it like there couldn't possibly be fish in there. She did not call the dogs out, and I walked away. On my way back up the trail, she was still there reading a book with her dogs in the water. Don't get me wrong I like dogs, I have two. That was something else though. Another thing that happened to me was when I was shad fishing by the conowingo dam(with a spinning rod). Two guys walked up and started fishing next to me. This is usually fine because thats just the way it is with shad. But what they did is keep moving closer until they were right next to me and away from the trees. Then I reel in my setup from down stream of me and find that the two guys who were tangled together had now caught me. I said something to them and the man acted like it was no big deal and tugged on it pulling his hook straight into MY waders.after that I just cut off my lures and pulled my line out of the mess. Fortunately I the hole is near the top and the only time I wade in that far is shad fishing, so they are ok for trout.
