Geez, you city guys just don't know what fun is.(Rob, you're not included here).Forgot to mention that muskrats, and an occasional beaver inhabit the same bank holes sometimes as those fish. You need to rub their belly first to see if it's fur, or skin. Pissed off muskrats have no sense of humor.
Another river fun time is findin clams with your feet. Had a friend who used to stuff the clams in his trunks. He doesn't do that anymore.
