We won a battle but not the war

Late last week Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) reversed a plan to sell off millions of acres of Federal land in the West, he released this statement "I am a proud gun owner, hunter and love our public lands", what the hell does than mean. Well you got caught with your hands in the cookie jar and now your saving face with the sportsmen and women who vote, what a bunch of crap. All the while the Governor of UT is pushing for the land transfer from the Federal government to his state, watch out next will be a land transfer with out a sale! These guys will stop at nothing to give our lands to the oil, gas and mining interests and deny us our right to use these cherished public lands. When they come under pressure they revert back to the "I love you sportsman crap", all the while planning their next assault.
  Another government crap action is the PA Fish and Boat Commission asking for public comments on stocking of class A water and then quickly moving on to smallmouth bass in the river, wow I guess their mind was made up and the comment was just a typo, same shit from them- let's stock so we can show someone that their licence sale counts, to hell with the resource. They moved to make Bale Eagle class A but still want to stock it then why do you do that, makes no sense. I am not in favor of  not stocking it, if not where do the Center Cty residents have to catch and keep fish? If your going to designate a stream class A make it for a good reason and let the natural resource take care of itself, abet make sure the rules are followed.
  On the fishing side the midge fishing has been great, last Monday was an epic day with midges skittering everywhere, the trout would not take a dead drift fly but would chase a skittering one, they came a foot to eat it. I have been using Trout Hunter 6x tippet on the Griff's Gnat and have not had any of the old twisting of the leader that I used to have, hard to break old habits of using what I thought I needed "7x", it just gave me fits with leader twist. Get out there and fish!
