Last night, as I went through another couple hours of sorting tying
materials, as is the case after one of those tying frenzies, I was quite pleased with myself for the reorganization effort of all that stuff. One problem. I left my tying office door open. ******* Beagle.... In the office was a neat pile of fur and feathers about two feet in diameter. How the heck that dog plucked all those feathers and fur, I'll never know. All the hides/skins were consumed along with all the smaller cape hackles. At least I will be able to sort a bunch of ABC (already been chewed) hackle into baggies..... Losses include: One premium elk rump patch - Fly Fishing Shop One #1 cape - grizzly - Cabela's One beautiful Wapsi grizzly cock saddle patch, brown - Barlow's One dry fly grizzly cape - Bass Pro Lesson learned: None, this was not the first time Resolution: One 11 year old fat, lazy Beagle for sale - AKC - gonads not included Any Takers? |

My second earliest memories are of living in a trailer park in Ft. Worth circa 1950, catching horny toads and trying to deal with the retarded neighbor kid who would repeat everything I said. (My earliest memories are of Synder, TX -- tornados and oil rigs and railroad tracks, mostly, and the occasional rodeo.) In the 80s I spent an entire week at a hotel in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport at a DARPA conference. My God. That was real bad. No thanks. Frankly, I wish Texas would secede. Then we could build a fence on the LA, OK, NM border. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

No politicians, crooked businessmen, or beauty queens allowed in.

Texas is a Hell Hole for a trout fisherman. I am jealous everytime a think of RW and what he sees out of his windows every morning he awakes. You, Ken live somwhere up north of me 800 or 1000 miles and have the beauty of lakes and freeflowing rivers. Try being me who looks out on a sea of roofs and fight some of the worst traffic in the world. It costs me a minimum of $1000 just to think about trout fishing anywhere but Arkansas, and, that is a 500 mile drive to the quality trout. I am sorry about the dams but it made one hell of a trout fishery. Sorry about the smallmouth. There are still a ton of quality smallmouth waters in AR. I look forward to fishing with you guys but, kiss my butt. G |

TC, R- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Richard, I have some acreage in Kerrville and hope to build my final home there in the next few years. I am doing the architecturals now. It is beautiful in the Hill Country as far as beauty goes in Texas. It is more of a state of mind we will be moving to. The Guadalupe is only an hour away and has some good trout supported by the State, Austin Anglers, and I believe TU. The local GRTU is the largest chapter is the US. Go figure. Alot of good warm water fly fishing in the Hill Country and the coast is just 3 hours away. Guy |

I guess it was the stocking at Granbury that did it...OTOH, I think the Austin Angler went belly up, so...??? Yep. I happened to drop by there a couple of weeks before they had their going out of business sale, and it was pretty obvious they weren't doing well. Trout fishing is still going strong on the Guadalupe, but they couldn't compete with the Interweb thingie. Seriously, though, the Hill County, and really, much of the eastern half of Texas, has some pretty damned good fishing, fly or otherwise, albeit no even half-assed trout fishing (...and no, those stockers don't count...) Our problem now is simply a lack of water. I don't even go to my favorite spots because it makes me almost sick to my stomach to see how low the rivers are. There are some spring-fed streams that are (barely) holding their own, but the Pedernales and Blanco are not even running in most of the spots I used to fish. Ironically, because of an agreement between the Guadalupe River TU chapter and the river authority, the lower Guad is holding up better than most, as they continue to release water from Canyon dam (even while the lake dries up to nothing). The agreement stipulated that they would keep the flow at 200 cfs or higher year-round, and due to the drought, they've had to cut back, but as I'm typing this, the release rate shows as 61 cfs. (Contrast that to the Pedernales at Johnson City which is flowing at 1.2; median for this time of year is about 50.) As for the comments about Texas in general -- it's all about what you make of it. Austin is one of the nicer towns anywhere. At least it was until all the northerners and Californians moved in. (It cuts both ways, boys.) The Hill Country where I live is beautiful, and the people are friendly. Yes, there are plenty of assholes, and our politicians are idiots, but I'd say the same goes for most places. For our two most vocal anti-Texas friends I have a couple of questions: Are all Illernoise politicians like your governor? Are all Idahoans wacko racist survivalists? Chuck Vance |
