[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]We saw the older gentleman in waders to the north. The guy was having a blast! Almost made me wish I knew how to use a fly rod....almost. I really doubt the guy was out all day, Old Coot. He probably fished the morning, holed up for the afternoon at his cabin or condo and came back out for the evening bite. Between you and him, I couldn't get a rod on those whites![/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]We were fortunate to get into some fish last Friday. The first half of that day had S-L-O-W written all over it. Everybody around us left because it was so slow. We just waited it out and got lucky. As any experienced fisherman knows, there is absolutely no substitute for time on the water. You can't catch fish if your line isn't in the water. If Bear Lake has taught me anything it has taught me the patience of Job. You never know when a good fish is going to hit so all you can do is wait. Some times you wait a good long time. There have been MANY days I've sat on that lake and not got one bite all day. So many times, guys are ready to pack it up when the going gets slow. Tell me what else you got to do? Go home and sit in the easy chair or some honey-do? I'll stay on the water, thank you. So you never know; even knowing every "secret" in the book, it comes down to all you can do is put in your time and hope for the best.[/size][/font]
