Last Saturday, PA opened Trout fishing for the season. I bought my liscense last night, while at work, and decided to go wet a line in the morning when I get off.
I get my tackle ready, and get to the stream by 6am. I get out, start fishing, not having much luck. I left my tackle bag in my trunk which is a short 10-15 yard walk, and start to tie on a new lure. Within that minute, I hear a car park in front of me, an old man blitz by me, and watch him throw my net to the side and start fishing.
The spot I was fishing is under a bridge and there is one large rock to stand and cast on, no more than one person can fish there at a time. This old man could clearly see, this was where I was fishing, but decided to go down there and toss my belongings to the side anyway.
I was pretty pissed off but remained composed, ask the man where he threw my net, and drove my ass home.
Am I wrong for being pissed, or is it free game?
