The Future of Fly Fishing in America ?

http://travel2.nytimes.com/2004/11/2...es/26FISH.html

I like the part where they call $75,000 up front and $5,000
a year a "modest investment."

And what's up with Lefty ? I thought he was one of us !

A reminder that a few years ago some folks on ROFF took offense to my
calling Mr. Kreh a whore. How much do you want to bet as a "charter" member
he didn't pay an initiation fee? But if you got the money and want to play
there, good for those who can.

I received a "private" invite to join a few months ago. Whoever put my name
on that mailing list has my discretionary income significantly overstated.

This makes me understand why poachers are considered folk heoes in
certain places. I bet that 4 lb brown would smoke up real well.

"Many years ago, when there were more fish and less people, fly-fishing
didn't make much of an impact," Mr. Kreh said. "But now, if a certain
amount of public water is not put into private hands, we're going to be in
trouble."

No Temple Fork rods in MY future, Lefty.

It's just a preview of the future under the neo-con oligarchy. If anyone
voted for Bush and his gang of thieves you don't have a bitch coming.
Someday when they have privatized the national forest and sold all the best
rivers to Browning and his ilk the western clave will have to held in a city
park in Spokane or somewhere similar. Your children and grandchildren can
set around the fire and tell tales of how good it use to be in grandpas
day.
As I have said before save all those articles on fly-fishing for Carp. The
income that most roffians seem to have will evolve them out or trout
fishing.
If one wants to sample the future now, I think he cold do so by taking a
trout fishing holiday to the UK.

I understand that Halliburton is to get the energy "protection" contract for
the geothermal features of Yellowstone.

Disney will install and manage the wildlife rides, with the unpredictable
real creatures replaced by automations, of course.

Browning will build and maintain several 18 fishinhole courses along various
Park rivers, with lovely casting locations, varied presentation challenges,
and carts to take the sports from one to the next after they have taken the
par number of casts. Each fly fishing foursome will be required to use
caddies ( may be called guides) to help them choose flies and appropriate
tackle. The 19th hole, will of course, have a huge supply of micro-brews
and pricey booze.... to cater to many fishers most compelling reason to go
fly fishing, drunken 'camaraderie'


This kind of thing is already well under way .... California has numerous
privatized fishing "holes," some planted with huge hatchery brood fish, to
insure "success," and as far from a quality experience for the Nature lover
as tennis at the country club.

See ... there are reasons to be glad that humans don't live all that long.

It will come regardless of whether neo-fascists are running the
country. The one difference is that without their influence there
would be a chance that at least some waters would be limited
on an egalitarian basis, such as lottery.
