Uncle Jesse,
I have no Georgia campaign because I do not meet the residence requirement and because I cannot compete with the fearsome Eye of Newt.
Ed
rumor has it, Ed fishes with worms!!
I’ve never even tied a San Juan Worm. Although I have fished with Green Weenies…
Ed
Judging by the amount of mud-slinging my opponent is doing, it is obvious that he is a Spadefoot Toad.
Ed
Spadefoot?? Well, I do wear a size 13 EE boot… I guess if the shoe fits… lol
As I have observed both these gentelmen in action on the stream I feel it is time to set the record straight!
I have spent time on the water with both men and have observed hungNtree catch more trout than EdD. As to Creek Chubs I have never seen either catch one?
Time to put the politic’s aside and come down here for a Creek Chub “Fish Off” with the winner take all! The loser will stand BBQ sandwiches for all at the “River Cafe” in Down Town Normandy. The winner leaves the tip!
I “second” what Jack said…all in favor, say “AYE”
that sounds like a wonderful idea. I tried to post earlier but for some reason I couldn’t ??? Sort of made me wonder if there was some kind of black swamp magic or something keeping me from posting. 
Sounds good, if we can arrange a time when we can all be there. I guess I’d best slip over to some secret creek chub water I know and work on some of those 2-inch long trophy fish. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen ANYONE catch a creek chub in the Duck.
Ed
Ed,
There are creek chubs in the Duck River. You just have to know where and I know of several spots that I might show you someday. You have not seen anyone catch one because they are so special that we just do not want all the spinner and bait fishermen to know where they are for fear that they will be fished out.
Kaboom1 and mcsteff want to come down in late April and I bet they would love to serve as impartial judge’s! Hold it on Friday 'cause the River Cafe opens at 3:30 pm just in time for the final judging! :mrgreen:
Warren, you are always a responsable, respectful, and respectable angler (I’m not just saying that because it’s campaign season, either). Have you ever gotten down under the 2-inch barrier on the Duck? I might have to show you to a special spot in Nashville, if you ever come up early for an MTFF meeting.
Warm regards,
Ed
Ed
hungNtree and EdD,
Here is proof of creek chubs in the Duck River. This was caught today at the Project Healing Waters outing by my friend Gary:
warren,
That fish don’t look like no creek chub to me. That fish is a shiner so you still have NO proof creek chubs exist in duck river. Here is a link to a real creek chub picture http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/species_a_to_z/SpeciesGuideIndex/creekchub/tabid/6599/Default.aspx
I wonder what the honorable members of CCU would think of this!
They would never had know the difference if you had not “let the cat out of the bag!” : )
Warren, It appears the gentleman from Ohio does not recognize the Coffee County strain of the South Appalachian Creek Chub species.
We are a tolerant group in the MTC of CCU. We accept Fallfish as equals to our beloved Creek Chubs. We do not wrinkle out noses in disgust at Shiners (a.k.a. Silversides, locally). Besides, Warren’s fish is far too large to count as a trophy around here. If it is over 2 inches long, it isn’t worth bragging about. Warren, one of these days I might show you a very special pool between two sets of waterfalls. There you can catch a bragging-size Creek Chub, if’n yore guid 'nuff…
Ed
Sorry I have been tardy in replying to this threat as I have been engaged in preparing for a foray for walleye, a specie far less noble than the beloved creek chub. The walleye I seek are mere stockers in contrast to the creek chubs I enjoyed as a boy which were a 100% pure wild strain contaminated with no exotic mongrel stocks as far as I know.
I agree Fallfish, Shiners, Etc. should be regarded with equal reverence as is accorded the Creek Chub. That thought lead me down another train of thought. Perhaps it would be interesting to keep a life list of the various and sundry species of cypinidae that one has caught on the fly as there are many, many of them ranging in size from over 60 lb. to the miniscule, from exceedingly common to a rarity approaching but never quite equaling that of the Black Hills Rainbow Chub.
