Theirs or yours?
I’m not going to say I don’t have any slackers, but everyone in my stores works. Period. If you can’t then you have to go.
Even if you are a hard worker, if you cause drama, you are out.
My daughter lived in Rountree for a bit. It’s a decent area these days for the most part. At least it has character.
The city limits of Springfield is only about a half mile away. The city limits of Republic is only about a mile past that. And the kids in the area go to school in Willard. It’s a strange place.
I do. But we don’t have an HOA. However, I have had plenty of neighbors that thought I would appreciate them telling me how to live.
We might escape soon though. We used to live on the edge of town. That edge has moved.
All the biggest smallmouth I have caught on a fly rod have come from dead drifting a popper down stream. That takes some patience especially if you see them looking.
You would be surprised at how well I can keep a canoe or kayak in a spot. But I agree with what you are saying. I see a lot of guys “flying” down the river complaining about the fishing.
I’m not as “aggressive” as I used to be but my priorities adjusted. I’m not usually trying to find the best pattern on any given day anymore. I usually decide the way I want to fish on the way, or before I even leave the house, and if that doesn’t work I’ll just take pics or float along.
