Bastard's

Just when I thought it was safe to say someone did something right we get screwed and are too dam dumb to realize it. Now if you read the new issue of Fly Fisherman mag. you get the real truth about the Prebble Mine! I quote "No decision on Prebble Mine until after election", that means we are being used as dummies to vote for the present adim. then we get screwed. Even with Nick Ayers, Donald Trump Jr. and Johhny Morris appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight show slowing this down it appears that it is only a matter of time till this goes ahead. It is a shame that politicions use us sportsmen and women as a pocker chip just to get either elected or reelected. Both of the Alaska Senator's are just double talking about this and riding the fence till after the election. As I have said before this is nothing more than a game to the mine owners, wait and pay off people to get what you want, I bet it would be avery different story if it was an American company wanting to put a shitty mine in Canada? OK enought of that, just keep watching and we will get a clear idea of just how much our leaders care about our views. On a happy note the water is cooling down and the fish are getting active now, Oct. caddis have begun to appear and the trout will take one if your getting it over them. Olives have started on cloudy days and there have been some flying ants if your in the right location. Still tying flies like crazy every evening, I'm trying to do smaller patterns now now that I can see well, maybe there might be a time when my hands and eyes will not let me tie the smaller patterns, heck I have enough Trico spinners to last the rest of my life, BUT. We all need to keep refining our tying and our patterns every year, sometimes I look at stuff I tied 30 years ago and wonder what the heck I was thinking. I have been trying new materials and will post a review of them in the near future. If you walk into some of the fly shops now they are all excited about Cortland and SA tippet material, I for one am very happy with Trout Hunter and am not willing to try yet another new best thing!
