The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Dries,
Thanks. This time tomorrow I'll be maybe feeling a little more human after flying to HI with a 15 month old... good grief... not looking forward to that flight, just the being there. I may also be wading out on Anini Beach looking for something with fins. We'll see.

I know that if flows got put in that jacked up the McCloud or Upper Sac I'd be pretty mad... I can't argue with that. When the Upper Sac got killed off back in 1991 I wasn't a fly fisher yet, but I did live in Dunsmuir (having grown up there) and I felt the profound sadness that came with losing something that I loved. All I can say is that the fight over this is probably harming our interests other places. It weakens our (anglers) combined weight. If every angler actually supported CT they might have enough money to hire more staff and take on even more... or they could buy the part of the McCloud that's for sale for the low, low bargain price of only $14,750,000. I work in a very similar organization to CT and I know how skinny budgets are, how tight the bank accounts get and how much more there is to be doing out there.

And on that note... good night.
