news:0xfTf.35874$2c4.5740@dukeread11... for over 30 years i've lived near
the tar river, in pitt county,
greenville, nc. the name of the river dates back centuries to the pine
forest pitch trade in this area. it's a long river that bleeds its brown
flow into the pamlico river, which goes to the pamlico sound.

McIntosh offers----nice report friend---don"t know if I will be able to
join you this spring for a shad fishery but plan to kayak on Black River
this weekend and throw a few darts
Anyone who enjoys John McPhee and wants to know all about shad will enjoy
his book- The Founding Fish
Wolfgang you would enjoy the chapter on Cooking Shad---

I enjoyed "Coming Into the Country", started to get a bit restless in "Basin
and Range", and gave up on "The Control of Nature" in complete boredom.
I've got a copy of "Annals of the Former World" but have been hesitant to
start. I've been about THIS close to buying "The Founding Fish" a couple of
times.

Chop the ends off a lemon, render it hexapartite

O.k., that helps.

Thanks for the tip.

Wolfgang
