And don't you just hate it when a canoe comes down the stream quietly and catches you staring down in to the water or they see you swiping at something they can't see in the air? We have to admit, if someone were to film us, we may appear a bit odd...

I've been fortunate enough to have an ex-wife and a couple of subsequent girlfriends who actually did this as well...too bad none of them were nice enough to me to keep around...Next one who does this AND is nice enough to me gets a wedding ring...

some troutnuts are lady anglers, and some of us have a sense of the outrageous. Best Fishing Buddy thought it was pretty funny!
