If you cough or sneeze or spit when you talk, then yes, if none of the above they are still a fashion statement. Actually even if you cough and sneeze with normal gravity the mucous that carries the germ will fall to the floor or ground before it travels 6'. So if we keep back as far as we can spit the mask still is just a fashion statement. However I understand some cities are requiring you to wear one and I don't have a supply of them. And that's the other rub, they are meant to be thrown away after each use, but the average user takes the mask off with dirty hands and saves it for reuse when he/she will place it back on the face with unwashed hands, so in reality they become a depository for all kinds of tiny wildlife.

That's because it was oversold to start with. Reality is anticlimactic. My county has (or had, I don't follow) the highest numbers in this 1/4 of the state despite a low population; yet I don't know anyone who has tested positive and no one I know knows anyone who knows anyone that tested positive. Truthfully I think this is the second wave of it here, given Walmart's relationship with China and the fact that many were ill with non-flu flu-like symptoms around Christmas and through January, I think we had it before it became officially a disease.

If you respect me enough to stay at a distance, my wearing of a mask won't protect either of us, if you want to crowd me you are the problem not the mask. Oneshot is right most people wearing a fashion mask don't even get full coverage, but they meet the fashion. I'm waiting for the "Mini-mask" to come out, it will just cover the chin and stick there without ear loops. It will keep people from having to pull the mask down to talk at you. I was in a fast food joint in AR last week for the first time in months and all the cashiers had fashion masks on but none of the food handlers did, most of the food handlers didn't even have their hair covered for that matter. At the fireworks display in OK last night I saw two fashion masks. I guess a couple thousand bare faces. One without believes in the science of spit and gravity, one with believes germs are as big as house flies and will be stopped a screen. I have worn my hard hat into restaurants and fishing, I was unaware of it if someone didn't point it out, but the other day I witnessed a young lady putting a mask on after she was in the car alone and then she drove off, see them at stoplights wearing the fashion mask all alone in their car.

Not many around this area wearing masks, there are those that wear mask when in the car by them selves. Guess they are keeping the spit off the windshield.

We can all cull, if we do it immediately, they get to haul the fish around for hours before making that decision. That should stop unless they pay substantially more or the use of the fish, say $100/day per man. That use fee might also have a limiting factor on numbers of contests or numbers of entries. Of course any culling or transport rules would be unenforceable. What tourney folks are allowed to do that the public is not is make money from the taking of wildlife. I don''t think any contest involving taking of wildlife is ethical, unless the participants eat what they take; once we decide to make taking a contest all claim to moral high ground is moot. Would there be acceptance if someone organized a team deer killing contest on public land? Squirrels are pests and nuisances but if some sponsor set up a squirrel killing contest on pubic lands similar to a gigging tournament and dumped the carcasses how would that be accepted? Improving habitat for wildlife is generally considered to be ethical and brush pile are generally though to improve the habitat, so building piles would be a good thing. Fishing a pile for consumption would be just as ethical as shooting a deer in a cornfield that you planted.

Is that residence City Property? or?

Obviously by the City's social workers.

When does "peaceful" end when mobs protest? It is a peaceful protest if the organizers get permits and stay within the laws and keep the protest at the site in the permit, but does not the "peaceful" end when the protesters break any law? is destruction of property private or public "peaceful"? Is trespassing on private property "peaceful"? Are there official published qualifications of what makes a demonstration a "peaceful" one?

And no one ever believes him, so then you all had to try It? The stuff my wife feeds her dogs smells like chicken but not enough that I'm tempted to eat some, still I can't relate the taste of any fish to that smell. I can believe that after eating some the taste would linger while eating a fish, or pie; so what kind of pie tastes like your dog food?

This keeps coming up; How do so many of you know what dog food tastes like?

Well, if you just ain't scairt you won't be scairt in any of those places. As a young sailor, I spent about three months of Liberties in Boston's "Combat Zone" and never realized it wasn't just another place until I read about it in the newspapers. Maybe I was just lucky or maybe the media exaggerated things. In the 15 or so times we went to Memphis, I thought we had seen about all of it at least once, but I reckon we must have missed the " way scarier" section.

Fishing alone and not being especially nimble, I rarely get pictures of fish even when I carry a camera and those were probably before digital, 30 years ago, maybe. Yeah, the first one looked like a bluegill for shape but over the years they were there I caught some that might have been hybridized with ???, other than the almost solid color what I recall most is how thick they were across the "shoulders". May have been greens, at the time I guessed they were mixed. Had a very strong inclination to stay on the bottom. It was especially interesting because most fish in this very clear creek tend not be dark.

They are testing more people so the number of cases increases and most of the high risk of hospitalization crew have already had it by now. If they had a reliable test for antibodies and test every one the number of recovered cases would skyrocket. Numbers are really meaningless if you only test the extremely sick people like they have been.

Half of the sun fish I've caught over the last sixty years were just "sunfish" that could have been hybrid or just odd colored, for several years one hole in the creek gave up really thick completely black sunfish of unknown brand two or three times a year and then they disappeared. And not being an ichthyologist, I don't always even try to identify fish past the family name and how much bend they put in the flyrod.

No ramps. They put in and pick up off one lane "low water bridges" on dirt roads that are on 30' ROW so no room really to park anywhere, drag one yak up on the trailer then scatter gear out, pick gear up, go in the water to wash off load another yak, open a beverage, look at cars backed up waiting like they own the bridge, stop and talk, drag up another boat, repeat, wait for the straggler who is still a hundred yards up the creek and do it all one more time. Sheriff put up no parking signs a few years ago and had quite a few vehicles towed for blocking the road way but the Facebook group tells all their members that the ROW is 60', parking is legal, and that Elder v. Delcour means they can use the two hundred yard wide flood plain like it is public. I dislike Facebook groups too. But if these kayak people had to self-shuttle there wouldn't be groups of 12-20 several times a day. They will also drop them in from Walmart property that isn't really supposed to be public use but is not locally managed nor monitored. I think paddle traffic puts pressure on the fish just as much as the actual taking of fish does, all the bottom disturbance makes an infertile stream more infertile, food chain is reduced and feeding times disturbed. But what do recreational boaters care about the environment or fish? They just want to use that plastic boat and get wet.

No, I haven't since about Feb., but it's always a zoo in the summer. I live near enough L Sugar that i have to cross it to go almost anywhere, so checking it out is kinda daily. Surprisingly few there today, only three car loads (all AR tags) and saw no kayaks, gauge at Pineville reading 132cfs today and shows a mean of 124 for this date, so it may be losing some popularity due to the flow dropping, can I hope it goes completely dry in stretches like they said it it did in '51? I am developing a strong dislike for plastic boats and the people that shuttle them.

They have to have police to suppress the 2nd, make all the rules and laws you want with out the enforcers they mean nothing. I guess all states and counties are different, but when I lived in a big city the Sheriff had few deputies and really did nothing but serve warrants and man the court rooms. If that county is similar the deputies wouldn't even begin to replace the police.

Quill, there are probably a hundred plus kayaks a day on my stretch of Little Sugar on weekends, some weekdays I see 20 or so and I don't hang out there watching, just as I go by and have to wait while they block the county road loading the things or dragging them over the low water bridge. Fishing kayakers I've spoken to report numbers like 50 or more smallmouth each caught in 4-5 miles of float. Of course they are turning them loose but it is still a lot pressure on a small fishery. The continual high water this year has made kayaking the creek more possible than in normal years. It still about 20% above normal by my estimate and the yakers were dragging the boards in some stretches day before yesterday, so it's not just the spare time and money at play here it's water levels high enough to make it fun for them. As many as 15 vehicles parked where there is really no place to park and some right in front of No Parking signs, I'm kinda surprised the landowners hay rake hasn't scraped some of them. Where a month ago I was seeing full stringers carried away from the bridge hole 3-4 times a week; I haven't seen a fish taken there in the last two weeks, that kind of harvest will be hard on the rock bass and blue gill.

I think anything coming in from Asia is being held up and tackle making in the USA wouldn't be classed as essential when states shut down so sure the supply chain is broken. But when thirty zillion people suddenly have the summer off from work then you have to guess sales have been higher than normal too.

Pictures? Is the Madison the Pflueger made in USA model? Size?

color varies so much within some species that I'm not sure I'd know a hybrid, but I'm curious if the hybrids are fertile? and if they are why aren't all the sunfish just subspecies?

look at poiuny's other posts, there seems to be trend, the first post was on thread from 2012 and a similar link so ... do bots drink?

Do you live in Berkeley? And since neither of these places is important to me or to the folks that live in Chicago what is the difference? It seems that wealthy folks live in a better neighborhood than poor folks? or that better neighborhoods require fewer policemen?

It is a declaration of such and unfair to all, but most unfair to the individual that can compete but gets picked up as a token. I've worked several construction jobs years ago that had useless laborers on the pay roll who couldn't pick up and carry average loads or push a wheelbarrow of concrete nor carry a ladder and each case when I asked to have them removed from my gang was told that they had to stay because they made up the quota for females. For the females that could do the work, I have known some, the female quota was filled and there was no job.
