Thank you, again fellas,
Dave, anytime my friend
JW, could not agree more, a friend lives in Wyoming and they drained an entire lake to kill all the pike so they could plant trout, go figure. The reason for the pike in the first place is because of the lifting capacity for bald eagles.....most of the books say an average male can lift 2.5 - 3 pounds and a large specimen female maybe up to 4.5 - 5.0 pounds so this was the biggest fish I could think of that would be in the general neighborhood.
soy, leskin...thank you fellas
buffalo....all of my commissioned pieces have items included for interest or later discovery, like the "lost" mepps spinner. I also include things like lost pocketknives, fly reels etc.
lostarrow, I make myself do it every day like a regular job sort of....if the wife wants something done I work later that evening. Sometimes I need a break so I'll work on habitat or some such but usually I got to work for that butt-head employer (meaning me
)
