Nice effort and pictures pal. Thanks for sharing. I have been spending more time in the Pennsylvania area, and the rivers are incredible. You are right, many people don't understand what it takes to get these fish. (We have met some good fisherman though.)

You never need to apologize here.. for wearing a mask, or blacking a background out. Some people have developed second jobs in following various fishing pages and only going out when they see reports. Spending hours a week stalking fishing reports, rather than actually going out and learning which conditions are most productive for which fish. They become indignant when you won't share openly with them and 10,000 others... but less and less are willing to do the real work.

You always have been willing to work for your fish, M...and you deserve the rewards. Outstanding job, well done.
