It works beautifully on small

Would you, by any chance, be talking about dem brook trout streams?
That's
a different story altogether. They'll take anything, presented anyhow.
The challenge there is bushwhacking to the stream, and showing enough
restraint not to fish it out!

Well, I DO love my brookies.

Damn, if brook trout weren't so pretty and tasty, and living in such
godawful pretty places, and if fishing for them weren't so much fun,
there'd hardly be any reason to fish for them at all.

True enough. However, it is what it is. We simply have to deal with it.


But......

With or without brookies.....with or without small streams.....one can fish
effectively, successfully, and gleefully for a lifetime with a short rod.

who will thank the assembled perverts here to refrain from mentioning and
dwelling......at great length......on the all too obvious parallel.
