Another Question; When you are fishing, do you mind if someone approaches you, not to bust into your spot, but to watch you? Reason I ask is, I've been taught to watch others and learn from them. I've had one very nice experience where I approached an older gentleman, introduced myself as I dropped my rod and sat on the ground and announced that I'd just like to watch from a distance. I asked if he didn't mind. This fine man proceeded to talk his way through everything he was doing as well as pass on his past experiences. He eventually invited me in the creek next to him and showed me how to swing wets and it produced two fish! Other times, when I encountered a fisherman and tried to get close enough to introduce myself, he assumed I was coming to hog his spot or jump him up the stream. He gave me a colder shoulder then the water I was in! The only thing I got out of him was which way he was headed, then I politely backtracked the way I came.
