<p>I can be there.</p><p> </p>
13 are killed and at least 20 girls missing from a summer camp in Hunt. š
It looks like the wall-o-water might be coming! The Guad up by Kerville is raging!
I did have problems as well. I just called the toll free number and probably got it done quicker than if I did it on line.
Well put Jimbo but I think it was maybe a little myopic, in that you are looking at it from someone who is on the inside. Even those of us who are close (somewhat) to the pulse of things have not seen the direness of the situation. All some of us saw was that Dan was becoming more and more MIA, we wondered if heās was stepping down or what was going on, just hoping that he was OK. And then we hear that you are back as head of the fisheries. Great! In the meetings we hear that Bill and Lise are stepping down ( but maybe not Lise yet?). But again I havenāt seen any pleading or notices being sent out.
Like most things that happen with GRTU everything seems to be on this LAP forum. We have the largest chapter in the country and we focus things primarily on the 800(?) LAP members. I know the one season I sat out on LAP after a series of back surgeries I felt like I was a 3rd class citizen, completely left out of the loop. If this is presented to all GRTU members you might find some very capable and enthusiastic folks willing to step up.
Well I too have held my tongue long enough. I myself refuse to recognize the activity until it is officially been renamed American Nymphing! š
I swear I could hear the stream and smell the air while reading this and looking at the pictures! Thanks Jimbo!
Ahhh, my summer reading has finally arrived! What is the next chapter going to bring!
I will be there with my wife. I canāt lift much, but she can!

FYI We fed fish this AM and #5 at 10:15 was 66 deg.
And Michael I did not see a rod in the parking lot.
Bill thank you for your replies. And yes, I am painfully aware that nothing happens quick with TPWD, or any government agency. That is why I said now would be a good time to get the ball rolling. OK not rolling, maybe pushing it up the hill. I still think if we were to ask the TU members of GRTU, not here in the LAP section but separately, if they were in support of an artificial only, C&R section of the river that could help extend our fishing season and potentially (hopefully) create a sustainable trout fishery they would be in favor and sign a petition asking for it. I know that Chris, Dan and everybody on the bord is aware of this but having the numbers to back it up will speak louder to TPWD. And if we donāt get the numbers? Well then I guess we are maybe just a āfishing clubā.
On the subject of LAP members not reading this forum I know some have stopped because of all the ācomplaining ā some have said they canāt get on. You are right Bill this is just the tip of the iceberg so it begs the question why does all this stuff happen on here and not on the TU Chapter or a new Guadalupe page (GRTU NEWS)? When I was not a LAP member I felt like a red headed stepchild, or something, because I knew there were things going on in here that I should know. And now I see things on here that I think is singing to the choir and that the GP needs to here it as well.
Anyway I know the plans are to update this site and the forum so that is just my two cent worth.
Thanks again for all Yāall are doing.
I too think this would be a good time to get the ball rolling. TPWD has changed the regulations recently on Speckled Trout do to last years freeze so they are capable of changing things rather quickly.
One thing that also needs to be addressed is the use of bait. As Iām sure the warden will agree that is an area of confusion. So we canāt just go C&R only it needs to be the standard āArtificial onlyā barbless hooks would be nice as well.
How many members are in GRTU? That should be a good start to a petition.
As much as I do not want to add fuel to the fire I feel I have to comment, or ask. I can only imagine the conundrum the board is in and what a survey will add to that, but is this survey going to all GRTU members? If it only goes to LAP it is going to be very one sided and will not be fair representation.
Next time Iām going to check first before making a batch of popcorn! Munch munch, munch munch
Jimbo, Iāve said it before and I must say it again. I canāt wait for all your ramblings to be finally bound into a book. In the meantime please keep āem coming here!
