Roy, I rarely go out to catch fish. I sometimes keep the fish i catch but am just as likely to let them go. My freezer only has so much room, i fish a lot, and i only like a good trout feed on occasion. I do though like to catch them if that is in the cards and sometimes the fly rod produces better than the spinning gear.
Seems that you have some resentment to those that have nicer stuff and travel in search of different waters. Not sure there why that is but i used to regularly beat the guys in the fancy shooting vests at trap at our local gun club bacon shoots as a kid... so maybe we do have a connection there as it felt pretty darn good to do so.
I looked thru several reference i have on the better trout waters in this country and though not listed anywhere as being the best waters, the Green was listed at least in a couple respected publications as being in the top 10. Sadly, that was not my findings but i was the guy stopping here or there, a side trip, sometimes between seasons, during a month or so of buck hunting several states.
Lastly, maybe it was your term "plastic worm" that got me. If you had said rubber worms, maybe i would not have had the knee jerk reaction to what i visualized in the way of what a fake hard plastic worm might look like to a feeding trout.
Home waters are special. Everyone should have some. I won't hold it over a guy who claims that his is the best, won't do it.
