Dan-
While I agree with your friend from Pennsylvania in
theory, in practice they manage to fool me a fair
amount of the time. Not sure where this leaves me
compared to fish on the vertebrate scale <VBG>.
Did manage to fool a nice one the other day on my
first trip to the middle Deschutes this season.
Thought I had hooked a cross between a fly eating
piranha and a football. Didn't have a tape, but my
handspan, thumb to pinky is 9", he went two spans and
a little more. Made my day. Hope it's a good sign for
the rest of the season.
Take care and good fishing. Hope you have a great
summer.
