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.
Supposedly, they are going to attempt to reintroduce Grayling into the AuSable river system here in Michigan. This will be, I think, the third attempt. The stories you can read of catching 3 of them at a time, on 3 fly rigs, are crazy, not to mention reading about guys catching a thousand or more of them in one outing, icing them, and then shipping them all to Chicago. Kinda like Michigan's old white pine forests. I've never caught one, but hope to have a chance in Montana, someday.
I hope the reintroduction is successful. Caught a lot of them the year I played Army in Alaska. Beautiful fish. You put a small Mepps spinner or any kind of small black fly in front of them, they're either on it or they're not biting.
When I worked in Yellowstone, we successfully re-introduced grayling into some backcountry areas. Huge, beautiful dorsal fin with green and blue spots.
