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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
disruption introduce species time
Any time you introduce a new species into an ecosystem, there will be disruption, but we don't know what that disruption will be.
count guys load stand trout
If you think about it, the guys at the hatchery aren't going to stand there and count 1,000 trout when they load them.
average fish goes half heavy high line pound slow trout waters
The average stocked trout goes to about a half pound in Pennsylvania. You really don't need a heavy line in the first place. When you see low, slow waters the fish are line shy. When it's high and cloudy, there's not as much of an issue.
certainly difference impossible improved individual jacket life whether
It's impossible to say whether a life jacket would have made a difference for Mr. Seidel, but certainly it would have helped. Had this individual had a life jacket on, he certainly would have improved his odds.
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.
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.
actual although approved caught doubts nice process realized record soon state stopped trout water whether
It was a very nice fish. Whether it was an actual state record we'll never know because as soon as we realized it wasn't caught from an approved trout water in season, we stopped the verification process although we did have some doubts about the size.
