same_difference | Salmon Fishing

My parents have been in Ireland on a salmon fishing holiday since Thursday (P's been keeping me company at home), but the thing is they haven't had a chance to catch any fish. The reason, no rain. Apparently salmon don't feed while in rivers, and what happens is the rain agitates them, and they bite at things out of annoyance. This means my parents can watch them in the rivers, see them leap about, etc. just not catch them.

Annoying for them but, yay, for the idea of catching fish by annoying them till they take the hook.
