Pebble Mine Whores

OUR ADMINISTRATION

Our Representatives

our responsibility

 

OUR PRESIDENT AND ALASKA GOVERNOR  --  COZY

-------  

.. Interesting note in the "FAKE" news about how the Pebble Mine views our administration and what it intends to do once the dynamite starts.

Just a sneak peek:

"I mean we can talk to the chief of staff of the White House any time we want, but you want to be careful with all this because it's all recorded," said Ron Thiessen, CEO of Northern Dynasty Minerals, of official communications to the White House, as he himself was recorded unknowingly. "You don't want to be seen to be trying to exercise undue influence."[[LINK]]

.. We do suggest that responsible fishers will read the "Fake News" = HERE

A most untimely death in so many ways. A pause is definitely in order.

SLEEPING WEATHER

--------  

.. So then, we received a blessed couple of days of sleeping weather. It slowed the terrestrials, surprised the dudes and newcomers, wilted the pansies, and - best of all - soothed the souls of our overextended front line workers.

.. As previously mentioned, both fishing and catching have been very good. All of our local streams and rivers and lakes and ponds have settled into their seasonal excellence.

BY THE NUMBERS

LITTLE FRIENDS

1]  Firehole River. The canyon above Old Faithful showing some early spawners. The gentle water on the Lone Star Geyser Trail has the most beautiful brook trout in the park. They are just lighting up now and taking anything that you throw. Biscuit Basin is becoming cool and look for Baetids after this weekend - otherwise hoppers late afternoon and soft hackles all of the time.

2] Madison River. Small streamers everywhere, hoppers and other terrestrials in the afternoon warm meadows, exploration of the last 3 miles for the adventurous seeking early runners.

BIG EYES

3] Gallatin River. Spawners above Bighorn Pass trailhead. It's a trek but, with good legs, worth it. Hoppers and ants when warm in grassy areas. Spawners nosing around Bacon Rind confluence. Small spawners near other tributaries. Soft hackles and small streamers working. Small fish all through Grayling Creek.

4] Hebgen Reservoir. If its warm and, with no wind the calibaetis are still there. Cool morning in all tributaries will find clouds of tricos. Below the dam is full of hungry resident fish and, Quake Lake near the outlet has pods of streamer-hungry fish, (near the trees.)

SELDOM FISHED

-----

.. Coming  attractions: Saturday rain, Sunday heavy overcast, Monday broken clouds and warming. This is coming on a perfect weekend!

 LONE STAR FIRE

Gets Bigger

periodic road closures

Lone Star Fire = Fir & Pine = 3 Miles South Of Old Faithful

-------  

.. The lightning caused fire south of the Old Faithful developed area has rapidly grown to over 3,000 acres. This growth is by a factor of 10 in three days. Increased temperatures and brisk winds will continue to accelerate the growth of the fire.

THE MUSTARD BUGGER

.. Catching continues to be very good on the Gallatin River, Duck Creek, Yellowstone River, Slough Creek.

-----  

.. It's a bit early - BUT -  there are reports of large and very colorful fish in the Madison Arm of Hebgen Reservoir.

.. Small streamers and red worms on most rivers and streams. Ants on the Gallatin River. Large streamers in the reservoir weeds.

The Arrival

 LA NINA

Bring It On

a nation divided

-------

WE'RE READY

.. As of yesterday we have been "LA-NINA-IZED" by NOAA.

.. Now that it's officially here it could mean a cold and stormier winter than normal across the northern tier of states, while the southern tier should stay drier, with warmer than average temperatures.

.. Fish for Bass, Gar, Speckled Trout and other southern denizens - OR - polish up the ice fishing gear,

.. For your edification you may choose to check out the official and other current reportage:

>> NOAA,

>> CNN,

>> WIKIPEDIA,

>> CLIMATE_DOT_GOV,

>> PROGNOSIS

 >> MONTANA CLIMATE SOLUTIONS PLAN (new today)

-------  

.. Come hell or low water we're going to exercise our stick and a few bits of fluff this weekend. We're going to get in a couple of days of catching before we die. The ignorant, stupid, unthinking, unfeeling, and just plain arrogant visitors continue to ignore Montana Law - AND - signs on mercantile doors.

THIS WILL WORK

.. The grocery stores have suffered the most. Front line workers are disappearing regularly. More of our neighbors are getting sick. Shelves of canned goods are in disarray. Paper products are jumbled all around. Produce migrates throughout the various bins. Freezer doors reveal both frozen and other food stuffs.

.. Lines are long since there are too few checkers - AND - they are doing double shifts, or more.

.. Our local fishing and catching has been just on the shy side of outrageously phenomenal.

.. Normally we would tell about where to go and how to catch. We, however, suggest that you stay home - OR - visit a feather merchant and believe the maskless counter kid about how to spend $300.00 on his over stocked flies.
