#12, Yes

I agree.

I was mistaken for being homeless because nobody in his right mind would actually fish for these guys.

Why?

Like the kid said today, after he couldn't get the hook out, and asked me to help, blood dripping from the gills - I said, "You don't need the barb"... the kid said, bored, "There's a million of'm, I think it's up to me to kill one a day."

Of course I didn't say anything.  There's nothing to say. I left.

IMO, this fish rocks.  For its size, it fights like hell.  What I was doing when the lady asked me if I was homeless, was, I was cheering on the little guys to catch those danged mayflies as they lighted on the water.  I'm telling you, once you see what they are doing, getting attacked by the big guys, popping a bug here and there... running... circling... fighting...

I'm ready for the #2 or #3... and tiny flies to match the local bug world... :P
