Eddie...you are so right...this is what happens when you try to make your fingers go as fast as your brain..then there is the "OLD TIMERS" pause....and as far as Gary and Carole are concerned, when all you folks get down here and go fishing here both Caroles will want to come back fishing always...I hope to see all you folks down here in Sept. for a great time......

Eddie,

Just how does one catch a stripper? Don't tell Pat I asked.

You lure them with a BIG hook..

AKA $100,00 bill

Hey Bill...do you mean to say that you still have $100.00 bills laying around....I can put them to good use down here......

Shboom,

Some days are like that, days when I can get out of the office and do neat things like build a rock garden, go fishing, take photos, and sometimes, just take a walk down to the creek that runs through my place and watch the world go by. Then there are those days like today when I punched out three newspaper colums, each of which was about 3,500 words, then shot some setup photos to go with them. Tomorrow, another newspaper article and a magazine article. Sure wish I could catch some "strippers" with that 8-weight fly rod though--NAH! She would kill me.

Gary

Gary, any trout in that creek?

I don't think I know 3,500 words.

When I first moved here, which was 35 years ago, the stream was fast-flowing, crystal clear and ice cold--loaded with brook trout to 14 inches. Today, because of upstream development of the watershed, the stream is down to a trickle, it turns to chocolate with the lightest rain shower, and water temperatures in the summertime get into the upper 70s--much to warm to support any species of trout. It's a damned shame what people worldwide have done to our environment in the name of progress.
