Reply To: Fishing Etiquette

I’ve been trying to not hang out at a hole too long.  I have two thoughts as to why.  One, I don’t want to by “that guy”, and two, I now have so many favorite spots that I won’t be able to cover them all if I hang around too long.  Bottom line, I think just practice some self-awareness.  If you catch a couple in a spot, move on, you don’t need to catch all the fish in a spot. If you have half a dozen drifts and aren’t catching anything, keep it moving down the river.

I guess for me it’s about just being outside. Shoot, some days I think I’d be content just to stand in the river without my fly rod.  But, I’d be lying if I said there weren’t days that I didn’t want big numbers too.  If I don’t get a favorite spot because some tool hung out too long, doesn’t really matter in the long run, I’ll probably be back in a couple weeks anyway….
