Flyflinger

I went up to feed the fish with my kids the other day. I noticed that they are keeping a large number of Brook trout in one of the holding areas. Do they release these? If not...what are they for?

You need to check out the wild trout stream section above....there are a lot of post concerning Blue Springs.

I've been fishing BSC about twice a week for 2 years now, it sits 5 minutes from my front door. You are right about the stealth being the most important thing to consider when fishing here. Most of the fish will be under 10 inches....but I have gotten into some real bruisers on that creek. Several 15'-18" fish. One key is to stay out of the water as much as possible. I know the hole you are talking about. In fact it is that very hole where I learned the secret to catching lots of fish at BSC. After several trips out with nothing but snags and a few fingerlings to talk about...I decided to just get up into a tree and watch the fish from above...I don't know what I was thinking, other than I was wanting to figure something out by observation. Long story short I watched that very hole you are talking about for about an hour...just observing the fish. They were all feeding...all were active....why wasn't I catching them. Well...just as I was thinking that, all the fish in the hole (10-15 trout) disappeared. I mean vanished, like they were never there. I was confused as all hell....nothing hit the water, no strange shadow spooked them. A few minutes later a lone fly-fisherman came walking up the middle of the creek. Those fish heard him well before he was close enough to cast...and well before he was thinking of stalking into the hole. Lesson learned. I stay out of the water as much as possible now and have no problem bringing several to hand just about every time I go out. They bite just about anything you throw in there. Good luck.

Never said we should return to a gold standard. Try and free your mind from what the media tells you....I never said anything about Ron Paul. Try to think for yourself. So you will choose fiat...funny...didn't know you had a choice. Fiat currency will fail every-time ..history has proven that time and time again. So what your logic tells me is you will take guaranteed failure over an alternative? Or did you just want to interject.....point a finger at another presumed Paulite. Your last statement might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard said on the subject of a gold standard.

Didn't say we were going extinct. Back in the 60's our currency was backed by gold. Our coins where made of silver. What backs that paper in your pocket now?

You would think Jerry. But here is the skinny....there is no budget or proposal that can stop this crash...the train has already left the station.

You bet Jeb! Few people understand just how dire our situation really is. This is the single biggest problem facing the american people.

In the month of February the US federal debt increased $254 billion. That’s in just one month. This is the only problem that matters at the moment.

Thank you for your response AL, your thoughts are always appreciated. Double thanks for taking the time to view the vids. Well if you don't believe it can happen...then I guess it can't. Then again, some people couldn't believe a society could function without slaves...after all if we free the slaves who will pick the cotton. Overcoming indoctrination is hard and takes real work. That is why most don't attempt it. They just go along with the status-quo, but it doesn't take everyone being on board to have real change. Only 20% of the population supported the founders opposing the British. I am sure the other 80% were either apathetic or just couldn't see a society functioning without a monarchy. After all, there has to be some kind of King...we have always had a King, some were better than others...but always a King. How could we change, people need a King.....ect. “You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.”--Albert Einstein

Ok..last one for anyone who really wants to understand the truth.

“You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.”--Albert Einstein There is is in a nutshell. Those of you who still want to to try and work the problems we face, while trapped inside the system that created the problems to begin with, will never find a real solution. Good luck.

I never mentioned God. Don't confuse "priest" with God. Or is this a real question...not just a quip? Is God a superstition? I guess you would have to define God to me, before I could answer the question. Do you mean the God of Hinduism, Muslims, Christians, Catholics, or Buddhist?

Fundamentally we haven't changed much in our philosophical views. Aside from our technology, we are still a bunch of people being lead around by the superstition peddlers. Politician: We can't rule ourselves. Priest: You can't rule yourself. Banker: Your too stupid to figure all this out. We have to grow up and drop our silly superstitions.

Wrench...couldn't agree more. Nothing will change. As for the woulda-coulda-shoulda...I disagree. I believe I might be the only one posting that is trying to strike at the root of the cancer. Which is: 1.Apathy. 2. A total lack of understanding of how our monetary system works. 3. The false belief that our government works for us. Now change will happen...mind you ...when the pain of 1,2 and 3 set in full board. What will it change into is anyone's guess.

Glad to see this Skeeter. This however is a symptom and not the disease. The disease is how our money is created and distributed.....the above vid you posted outlines one of the many consequences of the present system.
