Up here in west Illinois we do not have Redbreasts, but I have told people of my experiances with clear water gills where they will shut down if they profile you. In these few cases, I have also hid behind bushes. In one extreme case, I gave up and cut willows and stuck them iin the mud along a bare bank and left. The next day I had a "blind" within casting distance. :D It doesn't take them long to adapt to a shape along a bank, but just walk up, toss out a line, and watch the bite fade quickly . Mike
