I once got into a school of White Perch on thePompton. Caught 6 in a row on a small spinnerbait.
I also ha a running with a bear. He trapped me on a steep rocky bank of the big D. The only way up the bank and away from the river was blocked by his 300 pounds. As a kid I learned how to whistle using my fingers. It can be really loud and piercing. I tried it really to get the attention of two guys in a boat on the other side of the river. After a standoff of what seemed like hours that did it. The bear immediately stood up, turned and walked off.
The ranger I talked to later knew the bear. He said I should be grateful for the experience.
