Yesterday,  a well respected "local full-time" guide freind told me the school has sold.

  Predict all the answers will be out soon- Probably had to keep mum til the Is were dotted and Ts crossed.
 What ever comes I just hope lots of Locals get a job.

that would be great...i think :)

Well, this is coming back to what Clint told us what seems like months ago.
For insurance purposes they might not like trespassers, but they might not be too concerned about along the river. They also would be willing to sell the bank rights to the state to recoup some of their purchase price, I would think.  If it happens, start the letter writing campaign!!!!!!!!!
I can't see a better scenario for all- decent, relatively clean industry with jobs and tax revenue and the river still with access. Win, win, win.
Maybe a similar thing will happen to the Parish school, Clint.

Funny thing happened while at work Tuesday.
Another full-time local guide confirmed it was sold.
But, he said by someone other than the labratory folks.
Wont go into anything else said, as I can't confirm 100% personally.

As usual, some are finding the fishing slooow, some are finding it ok while other's incredible.
Im normally finding fish in all the Winter and Tran.  places. Can't complain. Its been good for my guest's.
Some freshies from Pinevile to fly zone just showed up. Also mid to lower has them.
Nice to see that bright stuff again!
Im back doing fishing reports, etc... every week to few days on my site, if intrested. :)
Thought I'd give you guys a "well deserved break" from my Ramblings for awhile :)

I was also planning a quick trip but there is new fluid on the driveway, and I don't think 110 miles each way is a good idea until I get it checked.  13 year old trucks can put a damper on fishing plans!
But thanks for the reports, Randy.  It is always good to know what we are missing.

I'm a sissy.
Got MLKday off and was gonna go up but with a high of 15 or so around here I think the parking lot pool at I creek will have to do.
Half hour fishing half hour warming back up.
Rinse repeat ad infinitum.
Thet were in pretty good since the melt lucky.

Went over to the I Creek playground on Saturday.  A few gents centerpinning and spinning, one or two other flyguys, a large number of non-angling hikers.  Nothing in the Parking lot or under Washington Street. Straight up and down is half filled in with gravel (could be interesting up there when the water warms up and they start to spawn, once the suckers are in and the chrome is done (wink, wink)).  Three fish working the bendway weirs in the Horseshoe, and two fresh redds down there as well (water temperature must have come way up, or late Cohos mixed in with the steel last week).  First trip to 441 in a long time, the old hole is filled right in, but some nice new ones on the other side.  Two guys had that all tied up.  Got a 10" stream trout under 441, first salmonid of 2013! Nice hike, pretty water, definitely beat doing laundary all day!  Water was ~125 cfs, too low and way too clear for a lot of steel to be coming up on it.  Next rain and thaw, I'll have to get out while the water is still 200-400, but it is staying light enough in the PM to get over for an hour or so after work.

Here is the skinny, right from a school board members mouth per my dad.
 
The PARISH school was sold to the Biosphere folks.   They are just waiting to cross the T's and dot the I's.   
The Altmar school has some interested folks that are also looked at and inquired  at the other property around it also.   No confirmation on who the party is , but that Genesee group has popped up again in the rumor mill.

That's  them up along the trail on the far bank, right?
Seem a lot like Ted Turner.
Real good stewards of the land, just not for people like you or me.

Boyz on the 'dark side' are sayin its gonna be some kinda Lodge and bar kinda place. Seems to be some confusion cause the 'for sale ' signs are still up but thats not unusual.
 Any local info ??? If not I'll be up in bout  3 weeks and might make it a mission to collect local rumors lol. The one bout the Firemans lot downtown kinda died- maybee we can bring that back up-  more lol.
   Time moves on and nothin is ever forever. Darn it.

I have not heard much of anything.

Heard just yesteday that 410 k was offered and the potential buyer wants to do a lodge/bar/restaurant... was from a reliable source but lets be real here... the for sale and lease sign is still up... that tells me theres no contract yet...

I don't really think it matters much to me, because the public easements exist on the other side of the river, which I always thought fished better as well.
