Somewhere near Yuengling, PA

Some bird huntin' took place this weekend.
Despite some naysayers aspersions, these boys and girl put the smackdown on some PA upland game this weekend.
Juno looks regal with her fine over-under and essentials bag.

Juno brings Curli a chukkar she has recently caught.
Juno then brings Johno a pheasant she caught.
Juno poses with Curli and the day's catch.
Juno looks on nervously as she poses with John and the day's catch.

Juno is some kinda dog, no?

Stimulus Project Update...

From the boatlaunch,
and the front yard,
then the basement,
and the guest bedroom,
from inside the front door,
and the great room ceiling,
and even from behind the garge,
this house is taking a LONG, LONG time to build.

This project has "saved" at least 650,000 jobs!

Hemingway Movie!

Fly fishing insiders are rumor-mongering that Andy Garcia will direct a new film staring Anthony Hopkins as Ernest Hemingway.

Internet rumors imply that the film is scheduled to be released in 2010. Allegedly titled "Hemingway & Fuentes", the film chronicles Hemingway's Cuba years when he committed to paper, "The Old Man and the Sea", befriended Gregorio Fuentes, and fell in love with his 3rd wife.

Will we see Anthony Hopkins taking game fish on a fly rod, or are they going to hire a stunt fly caster as producers did for "A River Runs Through It"?

Hanibal as Hemingway, we'll see how Mr. Hopkins pulls that off.

The Minions are available for casting lessons!

April Vokey-Maris

Siloam Springs, Ark. – Lefty Kreh, Barry & Cathy Beck and April Vokey, (Maris’s girlfriend!?), were on hand to commemorate the closing of multiple trout streams for private / exclusive use by Spring Valley Anglers’ members.

Adam Maris, yes Roger is his cousin, is quite proud of his brainchild, “like a country club for golf, but for fylfishing.” It is now the largest club in the country, with 63 properties, 152 miles of private waters and 58,000 acres of private land for hunting in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Florida. Members of the exclusive club pay dues of $334 a month, (there are still a few memberships available.)

Maris’s buddy Phil Napolitan is the club’s Vice President.

Yes, this Tulsa boy has done well….

Kreh remarked, “I wish there were more young men like him. If there were I don't think our country would be in the kind of mess it's going to be in."
