Heh, heh. I had never considered the fact that fish out in remote mountain steams might be "hungry" for some companionship and might feel the need for that "human touch" – or "human bite," as the case may be.

But seriously, I never thought that they might not have any fear of being hooked, while those fish surrounded by civilization (and by fishermen) might have an inbred fear of suspicious-looking bait.
