Fascinating conversation. Both "generations" and "crappie". Let me
recommend "Generations" by Strauss and Howe. It is the definitive read on
the cycles of the 4 recurring generational personalities in Anglo-American
history since the 1500s. I believe it will allow those of you who are
interested in this subject to better understand your generational
differences, the transition between generations, and the experiences which
shape out generational references to life. This book has changed the lives
of many people and it appears to me that some of you will find it worthwhile
as well. Good stuff for those long winter nights.

Since they are outlawing poker online, I may have to read more. Thanks

As for crappie, as of two days ago, I was still catching them on a fly rod
and chartreuse poppers. Also caught a 12" bass on the same popper. I could
not believe a bass would still take a top lure with the weather as cold as
it has been here in MI.


Never heard of someone catching a crappie on a fly rod either.

One of my neighbors lived in Ohio most of his life and when he got here
and caught his first 1 - 2 lb crapppie he said that was a monster in
Ohio worthy of the newspaper. So, I guess the fish are the same but
different.
