On a sidenote, for what it's worth, I didn't tell you that back then, you broke a nice little streak I had going...
See, I'm not really the helpful, generous guy when I meet up and fish with someone. On the contrary, it's a self-serving and devious plot with ulterior motive. When I fish with someone new, the usual scenario is we make some casts, and a short while later, I hook up one or two fish and say, "See, that's how you do it here." I almost always hook up fish when I go with someone new, so if I've been dry a week or so, just make a 'meet up' plan with someone new. It worked when I went out with Modest Man a few years ago and hooked a fish within 5 casts, Big Boy (kind of twice when we went out the first time, then later to 'show' my fly fishing tips and I hooked/landed 2 steelhead in 40 minutes, effectively doubling my lifetime-steel-on-the-fly catch at the time, LOL), Mikeee. And in the case of Native Fisher, he is the one that took me to a few spots and I flailed around pathetically breaking some float rigs and rod tips, but it didn't matter...in a day, I hooked up two fish and go something like, "So, is that how you do it?" Hehehehehe.
It works almost every time and you broke it when I didn't nab anything and you hooked the bead fish. Foiled! Drat!
Anyway, I've been on fishing hiatus for a month or so, but have finally gotten back on the horse and went out a few times. No catch yet, so I've got tentative plans in the near future to 'help' someone out...you know who you are, out there on OFF...now you know the REAL plan, LOL

Actually you did bank a fish that day. Nailed it on a spoon in the fast water after missing it initially drifting. I remember it well. The streak lives on.
