Pat Eller >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/06/03 06:12PM >>> I have spent many a night on the WMA reservation fishing. About the only trout I never caught is the Gila trout. But I have a skin mount about 21" long hanging on my wall of what would have been the state record Apache Native trout. Did you know that there is even Northern Pike up there? It is realy beautiful country there. There is a reason they call them the White Mountains. I never even think of going there in the winter. It is amazing that there is such a big difference in the climate in Arizona as well as temperature changes here. Most people thing of Arizona as a desert, dry, inhospitable and deadly without water. That is only here where I live and the road to California. The rest is so much like the rest of the country that is is scary. We also have some of the best snow skiing in the west.

I got the opportunity to work for the White Mountain Apache doing streamflow measurements and water quality assessments throughout the Reservation. Beautiful area, didn't get to do any fishing, but I sure did enjoy myself. And by the way, they call it the Salt River for a good reason! Pat Eller Where do you get those excellent DOG letters to GOD? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/06/03 05:30PM >>> I have been told by fish people at the Game & Fish that the reason the trout die from ingesting corn is the husk on the corn. I blocks their ability to digest anything else they eat.
