		<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. They don&#8217;t fight worth a damn on rods heavier than a 2-weight but for a species lacking any and all moral distinction they taste exceptional fried in beer batter.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fishingjones.com&#038;blog=2996930&#038;post=6620&#038;subd=fishingjones&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Hank iii wrote about being tattooed and branded. The smallmouth bass has its own kind of markings. 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>

Spending 12 formative years in Florida tends to diminish appreciation for that sort of clime. Matt Smythe is a Western New Yorker with steelhead tendencies and one day to get it done. Cold could not be an impediment. Things got worse before they got better but by that time the only trace left of Matt was a half-empty bottle of Maker&#8217;s Mark. It got better Matt. &#160;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fishingjones.com&#038;blog=2996930&#038;post=6591&#038;subd=fishingjones&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fly line entangled in some shoreline debris and I looked down to yank it free, and at that moment a green shape chose to cut through the water to my popper. I had no tension on the line so I watched its fat profile surge and descend on the popper, create a brief interlude of chaos and disappear. The excessively corpulent type of largemouth, the kind that would give FLW types arrhythmia, has eluded me for 12 years, ever since a memorable encounter on a small lake in Michigan. Since then I&#8217;ve had to settle for the small to decent to merely large. The near misses are haunting. In the end it gets added to the personal rolodex of frustration, along with the&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fishingjones.com&#038;blog=2996930&#038;post=6581&#038;subd=fishingjones&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
