Justin -- love the signature quote!

Yeah -- Yellowfin. That's a pretty interesting story in itself. I can't say I'm optimistic -- just glad they found those in Bear Creek, and appear to have them started over at a hatchery (even if their record at hatcheries is less than stellar).

People that don't use them, that's who I'm with you -- I like my stuff clean

What's the fourth, Tim? Never mind -- just read the article. Pretty interesting and timely stuff. I had heard they thought the Greenback broodstock might be contaminated. Cool that they've figured all that out, and cooler still that they found a pure strain to build from. It's also interesting to see all these other invasive species listed. I tend to think of kudzu, zebra mussels, carp, etc. -- things that cause problems and are publicized.

Welp, there's more than one recognized subspecies of cutt in CO...3 IIRC: Greenback, Colorado River and Rio Grande. And they've been moved around some by you-know-who.

I agree with sentiment above -- presentation trumps fly selection. The idea that certain flies are necessary generally can be traced back to someone who has those flies for sale. But to add a bit to what Al said -- you should expect the current near the bottom to be moving slower, due to friction with the bottom. The larger the 'grit' the more friction and turbulence you can expect too. So, keeping your indicator moving with the current at the surface is really just giving you an approximation of what's going on underneath, and it's usually indicating faster movement than what is going on below. Gentle, small, upstream mends will help slow down the fly.

Good to have you here, WR. Love the handle, too!

Kinda glad the debacle happened. We could have clunked along all season with marginal refs before a huge blown call changed the outcome of a game. It really highlights the complexity of the task, and the need for top-quality refs, and that will help move things along at the bargaining table. Sorry Cheeseheads -- I wouldn't wish that on any team .... well, other than the Raiders or Broncos.

I just love this post.

Otters and giggers is, like, so last problem. That was either an elk or a mountain lion.

Yeah, the Celtics and Scandahoovians used them with regularity. What ever happened to those guys?

You'd rather we cast aspersions? Another nice edit

Nice edit there, Bry.

Stroll around in bare feet?

ness' tip #1 You'll never catch fish unless you go fishing. Hope this helps

In that last photo, is that a reflection I see or something worse? Talking about the side of the boat facing up.

My summer stuff that's left isn't doing a whole lot. Maters are putting on some fruit, but they're probably never gonna ripen. My Anaheims and anchos have been a bust, but the bananas have had a great year.

I've done a fall garden off-and-on, but the last few years I've really been concentrating on it. After a summer like this, it's nice to see green things going again. I've got some flats of lettuce and cabbage I started several weeks back going in the ground. Carrots, bush beans, beets coming along. A bunch of radishes started, and I'll do another succession planting or two. Garlic is in. I plan to keep lettuce, cabbage and radishes going under hoops in one bed after it's cold. Anybody out there do any fall gardening, and if you do, what?

Wild versus pellet-fed stockers. Me -- I don't care for eating trout. The best I've had was heavily doctored up with onion, herbs, lemon juice, etc.

Sometimes it's not black and white. She had a nasty wound on the back of her head. Billy club or bathtub? I also vaguely recall there being some comments about the medical examiner questioning the sequence of events: fall-hit head-drown, or drown-hit head.

Episode 2. Maybe not as good as the first, but still some funny moments. "60, 70, maybe 80 fish. They wouldn't hit anything but caddis.....Shoulda brought one."

Speaking of uniforms -- what the h$%^ were them Tiggers wearing yesterday??

jd, that view just doesn't square with history. Circumstantial evidence has always been in the mix, (especially in civil trials: OJ). The other notorious Peterson (Scott) was convicted on circumstantial evidence, if I recall correctly. The legal precedent is well established. What'll be interesting is whether the "Drew" statute holds up and is enacted in other states.

Thanks bro.
