Nice to think about that place just sitting

What he said. The Nature Conservancy only allows that place to be fished
a couple of times a year, and I have been there on the first day and the
last. It amazes me how quickly the trout "get educated", and how dumb they
get again the following year. There are a lot of wild places left; most of
them are that way because they are too remote, and many of them are private
property, and some belong to TNC. It would better suit TNC if nobody ever
fished Phantom Canyon, but opening it up a couple of weekends a year sure
generates a lot of cash donations.
