Someone mentioned kids and that is my soft spot. If the adult is a newbie or is ignoring the kid, I'll ask if it's ok to help the little one. Fix their rig, explain what the fish are eating and give them a bunch of flies. Help them get a few hook ups and turn them loose.
I'm pretty confident that the young man I helped at big spring 30 years ago still remembers the interaction. Grandpa took him down to the creek with gear they borrowed. Grandpa didn't fish and couldn't do much more than stand and watch. I went over, worked on the gear, explained how to do it and got him hooked up several times. I then gave him a big handful of flies to keep and gave him my spot. Grandpa thanked me repeatedly for helping. On his own, the little guy hooked up several times and I would cheer him on. Wonder if that 'kid' is on here. Hopefully it meant as much to them as it did to me.
I bet a bunch of you think I'm an ****** but I'm really a softie that's a bit of an ****** 😁🤣
