I can't fish like that. Gotta move.

The term "Spot Squatter" implies that staying in one place is a bad thing.
But using that term does not prove, or even support, the notion that staying one place is a bad thing.
When it's crowded, many people think that staying in one place and patiently fishing there is the right thing to do, and is being respectful of other fishermen.
That is the tradition in many places, and IMHO you should respect that.
IMHO, four hours in one place, without a major hatch, without catching tons of fish (as far as I could see anyway) is the opposite of being respectful of other fishermen.
The ones that setup chairs in the creek win the prize.

At my cabin on the WB there is no place to sit down along the shore so in the summer I take a beat up old lawn chair and set it in about 3" of water. I'm not a spring chicken anymore and enjoy sitting down scanning the pool for rises. If I see a rise I fish for it but typically always go back and sit down after catching it or being beaten by it.
You old warriors who have earned your stripes yet still find a way to get to the creek have every right to have a convenient spot to rest for a bit. That’s a whole different ballgame and a club I hope to become part of one day. Rather than the alternative of course.
