Agree with Stlhead,

I go fishing in most places to purposely avoid most people. I'll return a pleasantry if offered to me, but I'll go to great lengths to avoid contact with the bearers of unsolicited advice. Admittedly, that tact probably has cost me the reception of a few very good pieces of advice from other fisherfolks, but I usually don't feel like sifting through the bs. I'm the guy who walks past the run you're fishing, leaves you and your fish alone and never offers a word. I'd take transparent over glaringly apparent in the woods anyday,
