They’ve got landlocked Sockeye Salmon in one south eastern waterway which lots of guys daydream about but the crazy fishermen been able to spread those everywhere. There are lots of other power plant lakes outside of Texas that I’m sure guys wouldn’t mind hauling double-digit redfish out of too.
You make some good points, especially regarding disease, but I’m sticking with my opinion. They already destroyed those fisheries when they starting blasting rock and pouring concrete. Everything that has followed: the introduction of non native plant life and the stockings of trout, stripers, hybrids, musky, and whatever else has all been one big science experiment.
Anyway I’m just arguing the point that I wouldn’t mind the study and consideration, not for the immediate dumping of fry in all the rivers, not that I think it’s ever going to happen anyway.
I’m a long haired, bearded, left-voting, granola-eating, eco-hippie that is normally all over this sort of thing but I could care less what goes on in the coldwater section of a southern tailrace, short of run off and chemical problems. I realize that is probably narrow-minded and likely puts me in the minority here but that’s my take on it.
That’s a good call on getting JSTOR access at the public library; I’m going to check that out.
I doubt it ever happens but there is nothing at all natural or native about a southern tailwater trout fishery to begin with.
Not the worst idea I’ve ever heard, it’s not like they are going to spread anywhere from southern tail-waters.
I almost hate geeking out on this sort of shit but the 13 inch MacBook is without a doubt the perfect laptop for a lot of travel. It’s barely larger in size than most magazines so you can get a thin case and stuff it down in the smallest of carry on bags without having to mess with a bulky computer case. You could probablly make it fit in a large pelican along with camera gear pretty easily too. The widescreen format Apple uses on their laptops leaves you with a decent amount of work room on a more ergonomical foot print than most of the competition.
I’m running CS2 and Lightroom on mine with an external hard drive hooked up to an 22″ external monitor at times with few problems. (the wireless keyboards and mice that work with the integrated bluetooth are sweet). The pro would be faster though, especially with the faster firewire for the hard drive. I’ve handled a 15″ pro, not that big of a size difference but to me it did seem like it was a hair past that cut off point where it would be as convienient to just throw it down in a backpack with some books.
Get the black one if you go with the 13″, my white one is actually souped up to the point of being better than my brothers black one but the finish on his feels more durable (its more than just a different color in the plastic).
If you’ve ever tried to fall asleep in a tent on the beach in a 20 mph wind $3K begins to not look that bad.
For whatever it’s worth I do agree with that “predominate rule”. The “industry” (or whatever it is) is way too small for everyone to be publicly bad-mouthing each other, nothing good would come of it.
The sub-par gear gets outed pretty quickly as it is and personally I wouldn’t be upset if I never saw another gear review in any of the magazines at all.
I’m looking forward to hearing the Jim Babb interview but I would ask what fly fishing magazine’s content isn’t controlled by advertising dollars?
you’re lucky you made it out of there alive, what with all the hardcore gang banging going on.
(is that your brother on the right?)
Arkansas kicks ass. I’ll be back someday.
I’m going to have to go the Pelican route for at least some of my used, out on the kayak and all that.
