No to accuse anyone of anything, but the whole thing reminds me of a time I was on Clarks...
I was taking a break, sitting on the bank at this one run. And here come these two guys wading straight up the center of the stream giggling like a couple girls. They were all duded up in the latest gear, but neither one was tossing so much as a cast. As they passed, I saw that they were sharing the same cigarette.
"The Back Water Angler" would be the place to call, ask for Theo...Senior's often haunt the waters of the Big Gunpowder... A quick rumbling storm could induce a moment such as this...
I lost a vest and rod in PA, I wonder if it's the same one? Rod was custom built and had my name on it which was probably scratched off cause it was stolen practically from under my nose. I guess it would be 3 or 4 years ago. I've never fished the Gunpower so it's unlikely to be my rod but strange things happen. If that descirption is close pm me.
