doesn't matter whether it's the bath tub hole at Da 'Nut, or walking up on dozens on the gravel, or plucking pairs out of pocket water, you're still there and nowhere else because of the numbers.
More fish in small water = more chance for hook sets with less work, regardless whether your chumming with trout Love Potion Numbah Nine, or tossing a dry fly.
if you fish other state's tribs regularly for steel, you know what i mean
