Life is good

Picked another group of Celeste today - wish they were from my tree - but they taste good all the same.  Found two more trees in yards today.  It's now Friday quitting time and I'm going fly fishing tomorrow - first time since February.  Floating down the Caney Fork with my best friend in his new river boat.  My daughter and my wife say they both love me and the cat didn't bite me this morning. God is great - Can life get any better!

You can catch a messs of fish too that would be prety good!!! LOL

Caneyscud in short not much, now if you hit the lottery but i have read stories of that going south for some.
Just a thought any fish parts or juice make good fertilizer for future considerations.

I'm sure noodling would be alot more fun!:-)

Dieseler - only if you keep any fish.  Usually don't with trout - C&R.  On some Saturdays I get to work at a fly shop when one of my fiends that work there wants to get away fishing on a Sat.  And they even pay me!  But that fun comes at a steep price - the responsibility of keeping up the hoity-toity, cane-snob, look down your nose at the the bait dunkers snob level.  Naw - not really - I like to eat trout.  After 30 years of trying, the Caney Fork is a very good trout river now.  It took us 15 years to get the TVA/Corps to manage the dam releases better and the trout have responded very favorably and now people come from the surrounding states.  But it is under attack.  Between the dam repairs that are causing untimely and extended generation periods to keep the lake level down, and causing raised water temperatures and lowered DO levels, and being loved to death by lots of fisherman, those of us who have fished and loved it for decades are trying to lead the way in better conservation until at least the dam repairs are completed - years from now.  


nypd - noodling is fun, but not in 52 degree water in a river with no catfish (too cold).  There is always an element of surprise when you reach into that hole or undercut to see who is home!  There ain't many ways I haven't used to catch a fish.  Well except C-4!
