Quick mugging
Last week, on this web-site, I was made aware of the meaning of the word mugging. I laughed. But late yesterday afternoon was no laughing matter. Because I only had a short while to fish I decided to fore-go my waders and fish from the bank. Not ten minutes later some idiot in waders walked upstream across from me and threw a spinner eight feet from my feet. I asked him if he was joking. Apparently he wasn't because the next cast was six feet away. Then I lost it. I told him he had the whole river to fish and to stay out of my little area. He got mouthy with me. I was so furious I told him I would wade across the river with my clothes on and break his rod in half. I can see now how a mugging can get the nicest guys easily bent out of shape. He walked off mumbling but I retained my spot with pride. I eventually caught two rainbows which I released. First time for everything. Like I taught my two sons. There are a**holes all over the place. Just don't act like one or become one. So far, so good.
