add advice catch definitely fish lines low meaning move people slowly stay swift weight
I usually tell people 'low and slow,' meaning to add weight to their lines so they stay low in the streams and move more slowly in swift waters. That's my advice for how they're going to catch fish in high-moving waters. This year, low and slow definitely describes the streams.
flesh ready sleeve start
We don't have anything up our sleeve ready to go. There's a lot to flesh out. But we want to at least start the discussion.
best canyon manage ownership position
We'd like to have ownership of the canyon and feel we are in the best position to manage it.
benefit fight given positive property rights situation
Given the landowner situation in Erie, property rights isn't a fight we're going to pick, at least for now. It would have a positive benefit once you're on the water, but it wouldn't get you to the water.
agency although area data good site
We kind of said, 'We need this whole area to be off limits,' but we didn't have the data to be site specific. Although we're not the permitting agency -- we're advisers -- if we're going to advise, we need good data.
chain critical including invisible link natural protect
Mussels may be invisible to most folks, including anglers. But if you don't protect them they're gone, and with them a critical link in the whole chain of natural resources.
best expensive extremely investment numbers obligation raising return size trout
Raising trout in the numbers that we do to the size we do is an extremely expensive proposition. We have an obligation to get the best return on that investment that we can.
calls coming happened happens marriages people plan start sticks wanting wedding weekend year
People plan their marriages around it. The calls start coming in around the first of the year from people wanting to make plans. I've had brides-to-be tell me that that's why they're asking, because they don't want to plan their wedding the same weekend as the opener. And that's not something that's just happened once. It happens often enough every year that it sticks with you.
alone fishing focus given numbers people reflect size trout vary waters
People focus too much on numbers. Given how much trout waters vary in size and access, numbers alone don't reflect fishing opportunities.
access along although brought cost half honestly limited mile properties public universe
Different properties have been brought to our attention, although it's a limited universe as to what's along a stream. At this point, we honestly don't know what, say, half a mile of public access would cost us.
draught easy features
The same features that make them easy to maneuver also make them unstable. They don't draught a lot of water. They just skim the surface. That makes them tippy and more dangerous.
fishing known looking means opening plus trout
You're looking at 50 plus years of having a single, statewide opening day in mid-April. That means just about everyone who is out there trout fishing now has never known anything else.
bottom fishing focused good judge lake line missing number people provide quality stocking stream
The bottom line is, any stream or lake we are stocking is going to provide a quality fishing experience, and the number is not the judge of that. If people are so focused on the numbers, they are missing out on some really good fishing opportunities right in their own backyards.
bombarded consider constantly create ground might posting private tempted
We didn't want to create another opening-day effect, especially for private landowners who might have been tempted to consider posting their ground if they were constantly bombarded with anglers.
