David- “take the reader with you”
I have tied tubes a lot. Yep those Deer hair head type patterns work well on tubes.
I like using deer hair patterns on tubes Modularly – so tie various colored/style deer hair
I think with the post stuff to keep in mind – this is nothing new!!!!!!!!!!!
I was using unsharp masks
Mike. I seem to remember that too if its the same piece. An essay or book review or something. I remember it mentioned Walter J. Turrell’s Ancient Angling Authors.
Zach, I don’t think you will find much discussion of it in the old angling literature since it is a modern practice.
I just did a quick search of Walton online, and there is not even an instance of the term “release” in his work, nor “immoral”. He does say, “the taking fish in spawning-time may be said to be against nature.” On a quick skim of Cotton I could not find a reference like to one you were thinking of. In his work, the usual expression for an effective fly is something like, “with this you may kill a trout/many.”
But as the others have pointed out, Walton was always about killing fish in a most conservative fashion, never more than one or a brace or two for himself and perhaps a friend’s meal. He also practiced limited time fishing, more spent waiting and contemplating. Wonder what he would think of fishing all day and catching and releasing 50-100 fish?
It is ironic that the catch and release fishing that first received practice in Great Britain and around which a long standing tradition developed was for coarse fish. Only in the past couple of decades has even a “sporting ticket” become available at many pay fisheries there.
According to that great scholarly reference work WikiPedia, catch and release was first introduced in the states as a management tool in the state of Michigan in 1952 as an effort to reduce the cost of stocking hatchery-raised trout. Lee Wulff promoted catch and release as he observed the Atlantic Salmon population dwindle.
I seem to recall from other sources, the first catch and release area in the country was in the early 1960s in Yellowstone Park, followed later by one on the Battenkill in the mid-60s which Wulff himself supported.
Will look forward to other comments.
Thanks for the “push” all:) it has made me make a few adjustments to my approach , which I hope help.
This working better ? –

Here’s another look. This shows percent of normal precip for the year to date.

David. Love panoramas. What beautiful scenery.
The stitch assist now in some of the cameras is quite remarkable–enabling great handheld pans. Well worth having a good P&S just for the feature.
Scott- thanks for the thoughts. I am currently building a new micro – aquarium with recirculating water flow
John- lol- I mean sympathies- sounds like a fun day:).
Scott – I genueinbubbles/ly love the idea of a pirate castle
Any pics of the nose bleed that sounds exciting:)?
I’ll show off my lack of skill and overall amateur status-
