Default pumping stomach's....

yea.....this is a tactic for folks that are "really
into fly fishing".....b4 i pump tummies, i guess
i should be crawling up, on my tummy..to the
river banks, as to not spook the fish...i am a ways
away from doin' that also......cheers....

anyone do this to verify what the fish are

thanx


I've never done this but I think everyone should. Releasing a fish
with an empty stomach means it is more likely to strike again.


Mmmmmmm. *I believe there is a certain mortality rate with stomach
pumping. *Plus, a fish are eating machines - they'll strike if their
belly is full or empty.

I was being facisious Dave. I love to fish but I don't take fishing
too seriously. I think I would only pump a fish's stomach if I fished
for money. But if I fished for money it would not be very fun for me.- Hide quoted text -
