		<description><![CDATA[The sunglass maker Costa Del Mar has a new film out about fly fishing for arapaima in Guyana. I&#8217;ve only watched the trailer but am awaiting the DVD, and it seems well worth the screening. Sure all the protagonists are wearing Costa hats and sunglasses but so be it. I love fly fishing videos that go beyond just being awesome, and actually have some weight (see Rivers of A Lost Coast, Red Gold). This one seems to. It&#8217;s based on the premise that developing a catch-and-release fly fishery for these giant freshwater fish can create an eco-tourism economy and thereby save a community and ecosystem from habitat destruction. That&#8217;s a tall order, but I&#8217;m buying into it. I give Costa props for the message.&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fishingjones.com&#038;blog=2996930&#038;post=6667&#038;subd=fishingjones&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These are the known facts. The stream holds trout and fishermen sometimes fish for them and sometimes they bite. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; There is much conjecture about every other circumstance. The trout have not been here since the beginning of time; the stream wasn&#8217;t even here until the Wisconsin Glacial Episode. In the next epoch the rocks and till will  be worn into fine powder or trapped and redistributed in retreat. The path to the edge of the bank was muddy from the recent rain and when I stepped onto the rocks in the stream bed mud swirled around my boots. There are other things I could have been doing but freedom of choice extends only so far into the continuum&#8211;80 years&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fishingjones.com&#038;blog=2996930&#038;post=6624&#038;subd=fishingjones&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

No perch is safe, even amongst its own kind.

		<description><![CDATA[A tree falls across the road barricading you from where you want to go and there&#8217;s no way around it and the people already past it aren&#8217;t going to stop and look back on your account, so the only thing to do is pour gasoline into the chainsaw. DIY is the prevailing ethic behind most of the blogs out there in the fly subculture. There are no set rules as to what one is or has to be and anyone that tells you otherwise is not worth the breath he just wasted. I am proud to be part of two projects that have come forth via DIY channels in the past year, with my participation in them a direct result of doing this blog.&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fishingjones.com&#038;blog=2996930&#038;post=6607&#038;subd=fishingjones&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

If the aggressive take didn&#8217;t tell you, or immediate rise to the surface with a succession of jumps followed by the rod doubling over on a thrash to the bottom, the look on its face after landing should clue you in. It&#8217;s saying, you and me are never going to be friends.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fishingjones.com&#038;blog=2996930&#038;post=6599&#038;subd=fishingjones&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
