And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Down here in South Texas, I'll be stringing up my 8wt with some shrimp imitation flies and going out looking for redfish. Hooked up a 26" tasty treat two weeks ago on traditional tackle, now looking for redfish pods with my fly line and my canoe.
in august I spent a week up on rock creek in Montana. Best fly fishing I've ever experienced. Lots of big browns & cuts taking lots of dry flys. If you can get there I highly recommend it.
Salmon season here on the OR coast. Big storm coming. Live on the upper bay. lots of fish jumping all of a sudden in the last week. After this storm, it might be prime for a big run up the bay. Fly rod might be fun, but I'd rather hook something I could take home and eat, and, I might not be able to get a fly past a protected coho to get a Chinook anyway, so, troll gear. What I caught last year barely paid for the license, let alone the dragging the boat to the launch, and spending $$ on gas to run around in it. Not bad. 14 ft. skiff , but hey.
Okay, I'm in. My favorite time of year to be out on the stream. I'm a worm dunker, though...........................
ReplyDeleteNo problem. You'll catch more fish that way - truth!
