Way to go TWRA!!!

[hungNtree]

i just wanted to sent out a great big WOOOHOOO to TWRA! (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency) They have now included the local city pond in their winter stocking schedule!!

I can't wait! Although I must admit, I am intimidated by the thought. I live in a really small town and everybody knows everybody. Nobody around here fly fishes, so if I go out there and don't catch anything or make a fool of myself, I'll never live it down. I usually don't worry about making a fool of myself, at least not if there isn't anyone around.

Nevertheless, way to go TWRA!!

PS I am sorry for all of you guys trapped up north with frozen ponds to look at, and I am not trying to rub it in, I'm just excited!!

Frozen ponds? That's why ice augers were invented!

Frozen Ponds Were Reason #3 for moving to Tennessee!

Finally the TWRA is doing something FOR US instead of closing land to recreational use.

About time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Locally a lake cove is netted off and stocked with trout twice a year. Once we even had 3 stockings.

Now if they would re-open closed land to recreation, that would be great.

Don't worry about it. In the Summer, when we're mowing the lawn in 102 F weather, they get to post about how they're thinking of breaking out their short-sleeved shirt, singular.

Warm regards to all,

Nah, it's when you are mowing the lawns in 102% humidity that I am happier

Around here it doesn't usually get much over 70%. West Tennessee sees a fair amount of 80-90% humidity. The Gulf Coast gets near your 102 % humidity. Last time I went down to see my Sister, I went for walks along the shore. It is a bit disconcerting to have humidity dripping off the mustache when there is not precipitation. That's VERY humid.

Ed, who hopes to be fishing dries and droppers this December.

70%?? don't you have to drink that? Out here we die when it gets over 30%.

I can concur on the 80-90% for West Tn

I live it all summer.

The worst part is when it's 100 degrees and 80% humidity the Bermuda grass grows very, very fast. I have to cut the grass sometimes 3 times a week when the weather is like that !!! Fortunately I have a Cub Cadet with a 54" deck.

If you quit fertilizing it, it won't grow as fast. Just a hint.
