Criminal.

More stupidity...................http://blog.humanesociety.org/wayne/2017/03/trumps-interior-secretary-reverses-ban-lead-ammo-national-wildlife-refuges-first-official-act.html?credit=fb_postwp030317.

More douchebaggery. Keep them calls and letters coming.

nice !

Thanks Ed, done. Tim, also thanks. I will call about HR622.

Coal, so 19th century.

I don't know why the legislation was not passed when Obama had a majority in the House and Senate but that seems to be irrelevant at this point.

I am doing my best here to bite my tongue but I fear that as much as we want to avoid political rancor this is, ultimately, a political discussion. I will repeat what I said earlier, we must all be willing to make our voices heard whenever those that seem to place no value in the natural world seek to destroy it. We are all guardians of the waterways.

Jim J, this is a discussion well worth having. It's at the heart of what the ISA is about.

There will be many battles to choose from..................................

Yeah, I was thinking about posting this. Incredibly disappointing and maddening. Time for all of us to make our voices heard in whatever way we can.

So, I booked a gig in Wisconsin Dells next weekend. Money to good to pass up. I will not be able to do Friday. Apologies.

nice.................................

I could probably do Friday from about 1-6

Is the ISA planning on being involved in the show this year ?

Ahhh, that little island. My girlfriend and I have a name for that one...................................................

Always makes me feel better....................this year perhaps less better due to certain things happening in the world.

I saw more cranes heading South this afternoon while walking my faithful companion, Rusty.

Somehow it makes me have hope for the world knowing you have a dog named Rusty !

so cool.

1:30 PM 12/7/2016 Three large flocks of cranes flew over the casa heading due south and making that crazy cool sound !

nice !

Paid protection.

Nice shot!

 

I'd like to get back to that river someday!

This was on the trip last year the was primarily on the Namekagon. Turns out the better fishing was on the St. Croix. I had fished the Croix three other times but the stretch we fished was farther upstream than the previous areas I fished. The farther upstream you go the rockier and more riffle-y it becomes. The stretch just upstream from where we fished ( i.e. the first 8 miles of river ) looks just awesome. It has been haunting me all year. I have a tentative trip to float in for 1 day in July
