We have sturgeon in the Snake. Back in the day we used to cross the Snake on a four car ferry that was towed by mules on our way to Walla Walla. I remember the sturgeon fishing there. Put a chicken on a huge hook and have beer!
I think they are pretty much protected now by law as they should be. Not my kind of fishing. Try the Wenaha, where the eagles eat well.
I want to fish the Urals but I'll never get there. Canada has some absolutely beautiful rivers. I know nothing about Alaska other than I hope the next President comes from there.
The Fraser is too big for my kind of fishing, the Fraser, the Snake, the Columbia, too big.
I like them where you can "read the river", there, behind that rock, or in that little back eddy.
Driving south on 81 Thursday I noticed what appeared to be white flower petals, like dogwoods, flying towards my car as if I was driving through a snow storm. A few minutes later I reached a truck with 933 chickens crammed into small open cages and it was their feathers that were flying all through the air.
Everybody is going to feel the stress, but the United States of America is better placed to surf this transformation than any other country. Change is our home field. It is who we are and what we do. Brazil may be the country of the future, but America is its hometown.
In May nonfarm payroll employment was up 4.3 percent from the year before, and the unassuming state sported a gaudy 3.2 percent unemployment rate. In several counties, the rate is below one percent. The state jobs office has 15,205 listings, up 64 percent from May 2010. North Dakota, which is one of the smallest states by population (about 670,000) and one of the largest geographically, has .7 unemployed persons for every job opening. In the U.S., the labor force participation rate is an anemic 64.2 percent. In North Dakota, it stands at 74 percent.

Huck and Jim caught a catfish "as big as a man" floating on the Mississippi.

Fish are mostly lazy as hell, like all of us.

ReplyDeleteNow tell me what's wrong with that picture.
What's wrong is you could not possibly have counted 933 chickens exactly, but they were used for sturgeon bait here.

Brazil faces far more problems than the United States.

ReplyDeleteIt's a mindset, you know.
Our Big, Huge "Ace in the Hole" is Agriculture.
ReplyDeleteCommunist/Ultra Socialist countries just can't get it right.
Our mix of "Free Market Capitalism," and just a "dash" of socialism (along with some damned good dirt) just knocks'em dead.
