Wolfgang, note my earlier comment,
corrupting the Carolinians!!

corrupter of youth everywhere,

But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed,
speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly
perish in their own corruption;

or.....the corruption of the already damned is a source of pride only
to those with low aspirations. :)

I saw this program and had about the same reaction as most.

What disgusted me the most was that it was the typical TUTV - let's show off
our National Office flunkies and what great fly fishers they are. Nevermind
that most local chapters have never invited her back for another
presentation because of complaints from the membership.

As for the Back the Brookies program, it was devised by her to keep her job
and that's about it. Did it save the Mountain Aquaculture Research Center at
Western Carolina University which was THE place that was doing true research
on native-strain Southern App. Brook Trout and establishing their range
throughout WNC? No.

Yesterday I saw a TV program produced by TU and filmed near Asheville NC.
Showed the guys in a driftboat in the Tuckaseigee river catching what

looked
like one stocker trout after another followed by some very large rainbows.
Then they talked about going elsewhere and how beautiful the native

southern
appalachian brook trout are. Next thing we see are our heroes at a

different
spot that they had to walk to (apparently not a long walk from wherever

they
parked) and they are catching multiple 4-lb brook trout.

They made a few comments that, properly parsed and analyzed, might imply
that such brookies are not normal. But I think the comments were in the "I
did not have sex with that woman" category.

Extremely disappointing to see TU produce a program that, to me at least,
pushed the edge of the envelope on truth. They could have done a very
interesting and truthful program on native trout, but they did something

far
different. It looks more like a commercial for a guide service whose name
was generously shown many times. Anybody else see it?
