Noise....I have a whole different outlook on noise now then I did before, as noise was always a no no. Next time you are out on the water pay attention to how much noise and vibrations are created by nature alone. Could be a beaver, muskrat, otter, ducks, geese, frogs, turtles, kingfishers or even a blue heron. On the waters I fish these rascals make a heck of a lot of disturbance wether it be ducks and geese feeding or preening as they always seem to find the same waters the big girls like. Another thing to consider is how many times have you experienced that big huge splash that creates disturbance when you are fishing on flat water thinking you need to sneak up on your coveted spot. The bottom line for me is I do not worry about disturbances on the water anymore as I once did as "Nature Happens".
