RC, thank you and I'm sure yours are still there. I don't fish for them during the summer but with the water temps cooling off I'll use a pellet-fly for sampling, which other than a pellet-fly I've caught only one fishing for them conventionally

.
And the reason I knew mine were still there is by the way they hit the pellets (AM LMB food) at feeding time. They hammer them a lot different than the LMB.
And thank you as well, stickem'!
