When I run into another angler on a favorite stretch of river, I'm likely to comment on how slow it's been. "I hear they're catching a lot of 'em at Reiter," I say. "Maybe it's a bit early (or late) yet here."

or

"Gosh, it sure has been slow."

or

"Where'd they all go? They were all over last week."

or

"Guess I should have driven down south."

or

"Haven't heard of many being caught yet this year."


But then, I don't make money by keeping other people fishing...
