But it's a nice net, that I won't have a heart attack if it's lost. Back to basics and a simpler form of fishing. Received mine yesterday, should have ordered two, just in case. Thanks again. That's a bear crossing area right there BTW. One was hit on the south bounds side a few years ago, and a trooper held up traffic north bound a couple of years ago, so no one would hit a cub in the roadway, don't know if mom was already hit.

I did hear some movements in the woods since it was early am. But wasnt concerned as I was in the water. I figure if a bear is going to chase me

. I stand a better chance in the water to out run him

I'm sure the temp. would be quite a bit lower a mile or so upstream. That pond 1/2 mile up has to raise the temp quite a bit.

I had a bear cross the river at the old hackettstown swimming hole damn area way too close for either of us. I was standing still watching sulphurs so he was just going about his business. When I looked I jumped and he let the current take him down a but. It wasnt like he was going to touch me, but I don't think I will ever be that close again.
