I tend to agree with MicroP on this one. I have a couple buddies who work just enough to keep their trucks in top shape and all the gear they need stocked. Their the type that learns 100% of what they know by river experience, and thats about all that matters when it comes down to learning fish/fish habits. I think the elite of the ELITE are those guys. However, there are some very good fisherman lurking around these parts too wink
