From Jimmy D Moore   " The truth is that live-bait fishing has a long and noble history.  Live bait was totally unknown to the early caveman, who had to make do with a rather limited assortment of dry flies, nymphs, and a few streamers.  One day, whether out of exasperation or simple impatience, a caveman made a backcast with a gray hackle he had not bothered to remove from a sage hen.  Instantly, it was taken by a brontosaurus.  The caveman was elated by his discovery, even though it was several centuries before anyone learned how to take the brontosaurus off the hook."   Patrick McManus  "They Shoot Canoes Don't They"   Rick
