Following the Gregg Martin Rule I decided to fish when I didn't feel good. Admittedly I hadn't thrown up for two days but the other end was still not back to normal. Heck, I hadn't been sick for 5 years! Not a cold, not a sore throat--nothing. How the heck did I get sick for several days?
Well, I can say that I did get out and try to fish, but as I said in the title, Kaopectate can only help so much and after that you just deal with it. I decided to fish from my Zodiac since I felt so "crappy". I can sit down in the boat and take breaks. Never mind that the sky and the water were both cloudy
and never mind that there were so many weeds that I could hardly see fish and never mind that I was getting salad on my fly on almost every cast. Waa, waa, waa! It was just not the best conditions and I only lasted four hours on the water because I felt so "crappy". I moved around the lake for an hour and a half before I even saw a fish. He was moving so fast I didn't bother casting to him. I managed three fish all in the last one hour plus. It helped that the clouds broke a little otherwise I don't know if I would have caught a single fish.
Not every day is a stellar day in terms of numbers. I got out. I made the effort. I'm still very grateful.
