Music and Fishing

The honor song for the Fly Fishers is all done, recorded, and on the web site:

This is how I am starting the "Music for Fishing" page.  Since I am a composer, I expect more fishing songs as time goes by.

Big Slough Creek was stocked Tuesday Morning, October 13 with 1,173 Rainbow Trout.  That many more are due to be stocked EVERY TWO WEEKS through April 15.  That is 14,076 trout placed into that tiny brook over 6 months.  Many fishermen catch and release dozens each week, so those who take them home for a good meal should feel well justified, as none can survive the summer heat.

In contrast, bluegills begin nesting in the spring after the winter temperature has reached about 65 degrees F. Spawning may continue as late as August or September although the spawning peak occurs in June.  The female lays up to 50,000 eggs, which hatch in 5 days., So be sure to catch all the Bluegills you can.
