I honestly don't wish anyone, not even those I don't care for at all, a bad outing and help when I can if asked.
Kind of off topic, but have you ever tried single polin in the mouths of creeks in the Yalobusha river? I know a fella used to do it years ago. Seems I remember you would have to fish it on a rise, though my memory isn't the best. All this talk of giants ending up in the river has got me thinking
