Sooo-- after spending the bait fishermens money to fight Beaver and his special interest group for access to the stream some are suggesting we should replace his group with another special interest group. Some are using the logic that removing bait fishermen would lessen the mortality rate and make for a better C&R stream. Wellll--- Since the Erie tribs are a put and take fishery dependent on yearly stockings and not C&R I guess we should make them bait only to offset the streams some of the fly snobs want to take over for themselves. I carry both and use whatever is hot at the time because my objective is to catch fish not wash flies. I fish with a guy that won't use anything but a fly that he has tied himself even if I am standing beside him outfishing him 10 to one and offer him what I am using. He doesn't try to make me change  or go somewhere else and neither should you. Drake has the right attitude on this one. Next the vintage bamboo rodders will want their own section, don't forget an Orvis section, how about one for #20 and smaller hooks. We all pay for a license and what some are suggesting is exactly what Beaver is doing. My 2 cents

"an Orvis section"

Now that would be funny...a bunch of walking orvis catalogs with their own section of water, wearing the latest pastel colored orvis fishing shirts, getting their wonderline tangled in the trees.

But Simms would be okay?

Sorry, I just got my CC statement with the jacket on it.

Simms would be somewhat better....at least their shirts arent pastel colored.

If you can make it out sometime to get your moneys worth out of that jacket, let me know.

 
I've been out scouting deer, but I shouldbe done in time for the Grannoms.

I see it Shawn; you are really hurting my fillins!!

"I've been out scouting deer, but I shouldbe done in time for the Grannoms."

NOW THATS FUNNY!

I actaully saw three deer yesterday while running the dogs across from the house.  They were in good shape.
 
Jon,
 
I saw some nice bucks, the type you are looking for, this winter in our neck of the woods.  When we run into each other on the Little Ji, I'll let you know where.

I have been stopping at the Little J 2-3 times per week on the way home from work to check for bugs and have yet to see anyone using any type of tackle in the areas I have checked.

Saw a copy of Pa Outdoor News yesterday and fell out of my chair when I saw the article on Anderson and the Little J.  The guys got the nuts of a gunfighter !!!  If he ever falls off that horse he's on he's sure to get killed from the high fall. Not a person I would want to hang out with. He probably de-crusts his bread before he eats it. Not my kind of "man". I fish both fly and bait and have no problem w/either. "Why can't we all just get along ?" Silver Spoon syndrome if I ever saw one. He needs to get a life.

Was he promoting fly fishing only on it Dave??
 
 
I haven't kept up on this too much.  I already have my opinion of Bill, and his actions.
 
 
Shawn,
 
Getting close to the grannoms!!    I'm going to have formerguide come out one morning, so maybe you'll get to meet him finally.

Jon,
 
That would be great.  He and I can fish while you scout for some deer -- just kidding.
 
Let me know when.  I do need a little advanced notice because of all the activity at work.
 
I plan on fishing Thursday evening on the riiver somewhere.

Count me in for Thursday Shawn.

I think most of the people trying to take over the little juniata, never even lived around here let alone fished it 30 years ago, I for one do not like the fact I cant keep a couple to eat ,after all I grew up along the little juniata, and fishing was started because people like to eat fish. then came the rich guys and the orvis clowns, look at me we will pay off the political people in the fish commission and have the regulations changed so we can sport fish. kinda like the rich guys who pay to hunt but dont eat what they kill, they just do it for fun, real men so to speak. Now here is some food for thought for all you catch and release guys you say that if I keep a few I am hurting the fishery Bull********* I used to fish for musky at raystown and all these so called bass fisherman with 80,0000 dollar bass boats would tell me those damm musky were eating all the bass and none would be left. well 30 some years later the musky are still there and so are alot of trophy bass, so If some people ate a few trout for dinner It would not hurt at all and you orvis guys know it, I BUY A FISHING LICENSE AND A TROUT STAMP TOO. Tired of special intrest groups who think they control the little juniata, cause fishing was for food in the first place. I for one love to eat trout, and I do not want power grabbers changing the rules. not the way God intended it.
