    Default My home water has been closed to fishing

    50 pounds of mercury was dumped on a road side near my home water
    Not a good way to start the season

    You have my sympathy. We have a local company who makes chocolate candy who not once, not twice, but three times have allowed a chemical spill into one of our trout streams. Needless to say, I won't eat any of their D@%n candies.

    General season opening day is tomorrow, here's the latest news

    This stretch is only about two miles long, but it's a nice piece of water.
    My guess would be that it was not stocked this season, but there are wild fish there.
    Perhaps this will keep the meat fisherman away and I can have it all to myself

    Just think about it, after you get done fishing all your flies will have that nice metalic sheen to them. Lead free but mercury induced!
    Your hooks sharp????
