I guess I've never seen hoovering, or gulping for that matter, on
stillwater. Sounds exciting. I've seen it in slow-moving currents with
heavy hatches of tiny flies. A good Trico hatch on Silver Creek is the

comparison

Think of those SC fish that sit in pods "chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp" ... you
can actually hear them smacking their lips .... move them to a big lake,

chomp, chomp, chomp" is the origin of the "gulping" term

didn't recognize you if you were
