[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

" It doesn't take long to understand there's a paradox to all of this. Here you are on a wonderful, shimmering river casting a fly over the biggest trout you've ever seen in your life when you realize that the reason it's possible is because there is a dam upstream from you. It doesn't make sense at first. The river exixts, as you know it, because upstream there is flat water" A reservoir is making all this possible? Nonsense!"

Ed Engle


P.S. Any trout "tail waters" in your area.  I'll start with the Guadalupe River, below Canyon Lake Dam, just northwest of New Braunfels, TX.  Ten mile trout fishery sustained by the flow of 45 degree temperature discharge water coming through the bottom draw of  Canyon Lake Dam.  Who'd ever thought there could be a viable trout stream in Central Texas!
