  1. I dumped my boat there once due to getting sideways in a fast riffle with a big gust of wind that was blowing upriver. Made a cast, the wind hit and instant dump. Lost a couple of good rods and a box full of hard baits. It was cold in the springtime. Was glad for a set of dry clothes in a bag and stuff to build a fire. That broke me of the NFOW jones.
  2. Depends on demand and water levels. Hydro is really good at meeting peak power needs.
  3. How about all the armadillos cars kill.
  4. Now I'm curious. What parts of the source do you think are false? And why? Can you provide evidence to the contrary on what you find questionable?
  5. Finally, a legitimate objection.
  6. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink, or so I've heard. If you don't like that source, there are lots of others available. I do know one thing for an absolute fact. If people weren't making money on wind generation, it wouldn't be the growth industry it is. The market never lies.
  7. Read the link.
  8. Nonsense. How Long Does it Take a Wind Turbine to Pay for Itself? - Semprius
  9. And about the Finley. I cross it multiple times every day and have fished it a bit. From Linden on down to Green Bridge and from Green Bridge to the park mostly. I've caught a few that were maybe 15" but not many that size. But I will say that river has a lot of smallmouth in it. I was wading down from Green Bridge a couple of years ago and caught 12 smallmouth on 15 casts out of the same eddy. Ned. Sorry John and Pete, no pictures, you'll just have to trust me.
  10. All it takes is a picture to have a mount made. Measurements are helpful too but not 100% necessary.
  11. Sounds like a good plan to me. Welcome aboard.
  12. Trout that are smoked, boned and then turned into patties are good. Otherwise they're something to eat to keep from being hungry. To my taste at least.
  13. Maybe I should have said naturally reproducing.
  14. Don't like crowds much anymore. Get a little anxious which is not how I used to be. So I'll avoid it even if I do like the place and the seminars sound cool. Is this maybe the 50th anniversary of Bass Pro or something?
  15. On Mark Twain Lake there is an island that only shows when the lake level is lower than normal. Beached the boat there once back in the late '80's to get out for a stretch. We started finding heads, partial heads and a couple of bigger pieces that were likely scrapers laying around. Picked up maybe 15 pieces. That's the only time I ever hit a mother lode.
  16. Every big fish started out a little fish. That's my wisdom for today. Maybe the rest of the week.
  17. Reel Magic is not a gimmick in my opinion.
  18. I'm done eating spoonbill. Found I like smallmouth bass better. And native trout.
  19. Coated deck screws with torx heads are the solution.
  20. I'm gonna tell Griz what you called him.
  21. I'll take another 170,000 hard working family oriented hispanics every day over 170,000 entitled rich kids.
  22. You are aware that those nailers have adjustment for how deep nails are driven, right?
  23. Painful too. Rehab was way worse than any other I've had.
