Some time ago I was fishing Mantua over by where the creek comes in. I was in my little aluminum boat, this clown comes up in a canoe & anchors right where I was casting. I thanked him for his courtesy and he replied something to the effect that maybe some day I could have the whole lake to myself, turned his back to me & started fishing. I was fishing flies behind a bubble so I just unclipped my flies off the bubble & burned a cast at his head. Bad aim. Hit him in the middle of the back albeit hard enough to shatter the bubble. That canoe took off like it had a 25 hp. outboard on it. I got to wondering if he might not be going after a gun but I never saw him again. In retrospect I realize that was a chicken---- stunt I pulled but it sure felt good at the time.
