But is it not like a thousand bird driven day ,compared to a walk about with mates few dogs ,and happy with a few birds each, I know what I'd prefer 

I have fished for salmon/sea trout alone and with mates loads of times since I was a kid Walt, but this is next level and should be experienced by anyone with an interest in anadromous fish, it's totally different, if this is thousand bird driven day then yup, count me in, but there's no comparison in my eyes, this is a true fishing experience.Having salmon for tea.

Always take on board, appreciate your experiences, and if your saying it's worth experiencing, I'm guessing it is ,don't get many salmon in Hertfordshire lol

I think a good analogy Walt is 100 rabbits a night on the lamp, or running the Waterloo Cup, it's got to be experienced, very few people would turn down a chance on rabbit rich ground or running their dogs at altcart legally back in the day, this isn't a carp lake where the fish have individual names, this is the north American salmon run, stuff I dreamt of as a kid yeehaaaaa.

That's true,in mitigation I was sitting beside a river watching nature's spectacle unfold before me when I wrote it thus was distracted.

Mack, you don't need to explain yourself to anyone, least of all me.

But from a man of your intellect I just expected better.  

But, being busy next to a productive river, quite understandable.

You have plenty of intellect, mack, but, that's an ugly fish.
